 President's Note
Hello SWE-NESS,
I am the new Section President and wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself. I have an MS in Mathematics from the University of Central Florida. I arrived in Rhode Island via the Naval Undersea Warfare Center where I work with ocean, electrical and mechanical engineers. My day to day work involves analysis of acoustic data and its application to environmental documents.
I have been married for over 10 years, am the proud mother of a 3-year-old (soon to be 4 - it went by too fast!) girl and have two dogs: Peaches, a Cocker Spaniel, and Brownie, a Bassett Hound. I hope that my daughter picks up musical, mathematical and scientific interests regardless of what she decides to be in life.
I was introduced to SWE by Donna Matthews after receiving the Helen Martha Sternberg Award in 2001. I attended one Executive Council (EC) meeting and was hooked. The outreach programs really appealed to me as well as the overall mission of the organization. I was previously a member of a couple of mathematical societies, but SWE is more active at the local level than I had previously experienced.
I have been active in the section since 2001 by taking different roles in the EC. I look forward to meeting many of you during the upcoming summer events as well as during the year.
Have a safe and happy summer!
Yadira Gilchrest
