Jensy Maldonado

President

Hello Familia, my name is Jensy Maldonado. I am a Senior Computer Engineering student. This will be my second year serving in E-Board. My first year I served as the Secretary and now as the President. I am super excited about this opportunity to help improve the club and giving back to its member. 

As a first-generation student, it can be hard to overcome imposter syndrome and find a community. But LAESA-SHPE has helped me find that community where like-minded students push each other as well as the alumni always providing support. 

I am a strong believer of giving back to my community and LAESA-SHPE has become my community. This year, my goal is to continue achieving LAESA-SHPE’s mission through the 5 pillars.

Erick Martinez

Internal Vice President

My name is Erick Martinez and I am a Junior Mechanical Engineering undergraduate. I joined LAESA as a member during the spring semester of 2022. I volunteered as a PCED volunteer and would be around the members and seeing the environment helped me realize that this isn’t an ordinary club but more of a Family that’ll improve and help one another. 

I am LAESA’s Internal Vice-President for the 2022-2023 academic year and very happy to have taken this opportunity. I am happy to work with my fellow eboard members and give back to this club.I want to raise awareness around STEM to my community up in Inwood where I grew up to help those who are trying to look for a path to achieve their dreams around STEM. My dream is to become a Formula 1 Race Engineer in the near future and I know LAESA is a great place to continue my journey. 

Elibeth Martinez Tejada

External Vice President

My name is Elibeth Martinez Tejada and I am a Senior Electrical Engineering student. I joined LAESA-SHPE in Fall 2021, and then became Pre-College Engineering Day 2022 Director. It was an incredible experience for me to be able to share STEM to high school students around the NYC area, therefore, I decided to join the executive board for LAESA. LAESA has helped me a lot since I joined and I wish to give back to the club, the same way the gave to me when I did not know who to reach out to. 

Annah Singh

Secretary

My name is Annah Singh, I am an undergraduate sophomore studying Electrical Engineering. I joined LAESA-SHPE in Fall 2021 and spent most of my time in the club Co-directing PCED 2022. While organizing PCED 2022,  I had the privilege of working with individuals who were collectively passionate about STEM Awareness, and strengthened my leadership and teamwork skills. 

The LAESA-SHPE community is truly like no other. I have had the opportunity to network with a variety of highly motivated and genuine members and alumni who are always willing to offer support. The connections in LAESA-SHPE are so valuable, and the possibilities for self-development are endless. 

I am excited to be Secretary for 2022-23, and I hope that we can continue this journey together! I can’t wait for you all to see the amazing events that E-Board has in store! 🙂

Richard Ventura

Treasurer

My name is Richard Ventura, and I am a senior in Electrical Engineering. I was born in the Dominican Republic but immigrated to the United States at a young age. I joined LAESA in the spring semester of 2021 and quickly made friends that motivated me to be better and to do more. As a result, I am LAESA’s new treasurer and I am pleased to team up with the hardworking and exemplary students that make up this new e-board, to provide an active, fun, and productive 2022-23 year. My favorite activities include playing basketball and watching Mets games. 

I’m excited to continue to connect with the amazing and inspiring individuals in this familia and to help grow it further. If you see me, say hi!
