Meet the Executive Candidates

Lauren George
President Candidate

Hi everyone! My name is Lauren George (she/her), and I’m a junior majoring in Engineering, Math, and Statistics. I currently serve as the VP of K–12 Outreach, and seeing the impact our amazing officers have on the community has been incredibly inspiring. As President, my goal is to continue expanding our reach to new communities while also strengthening the fun and sense of community that makes SWE so special.

Alexa Piscil
Vice President of Internal Candidate

Hi everyone, my name is Alexa Piscil (pronouns she/her) and I am a bioengineering second year who is this year's OHP co-officer and running for next year's VP Internal. As an Exec, I aim to bring energy and excitement to SWE through fun retreats and interactive GMs. I hope to create a comfortable SWE culture where all members are welcomed and feel proud to take part in our SWE community.

Mahika Behani
Vice President of Corporate Candidate

Hi! My name is Mahika Behani (she/her), and I’m a junior studying Environmental Engineering as well as Environmental Economics & Policy. I’m currently an officer for Startup Spring, and I’m running to be your next VP Corporate. From the day I started Berkeley as a scared, shy freshman who had never been to the United States before, to now, 6 semesters later, SWE has been an integral part of my college experience. I’d love to have the chance and opportunity to give back to the people who showed 10 year old me that she can be a woman in STEM, despite what the world says.

Sreshta Yelisetti
Vice President of Corporate Candidate

Hi everyone! My name is Sreshta Yelisetti (she/her), and I am a second-year Bioengineering and EECS major. I am currently a Career Options in Engineering Officer, and I am running for VP Corporate. I truly enjoy being part of a community like SWE that allows me to be involved in projects that encourage more women to explore and feel confident in engineering. Through this role, I hope to create more engaging events, strengthen connections with industry, empower women to grow into strong leaders, and make the club a welcoming and supportive space for all members.

I hope to continue contributing in this way as Secretary. I also enjoy going to cafés, walking around with friends, and discovering new albums :)

Swetha Ashok
