TSA has been a constant in my education experience. In my six years, I have had the opportunity to meet like-minded students from across the country, grow my leadership skills, and be recognized for my work through the competitive events program. My favorite events include Prepared Speech, Career Prep, and Extemporaneous Speech. Thank you so much for this opportunity to serve as your national TSA president. I am beyond excited to represent you and cannot wait to see what this year will hold!
In 2015, I walked into a whole new world. I had just moved from Birmingham Alabama, and later that year I would begin my journey in TSA. I quickly found a new friend group, fun opportunities, challenging events, and so much more. As that shy seventh grader, I never would have thought that I would lead such an amazing organization of 250,000 members that share the same passion for STEM.
My sister’s positive memories and lasting skills from TSA inspired me to join in 7th grade. During my first year in TSA, I became fond of the event Website Design and was inspired by the number of members who were passionate about their respective competitions. I never saw myself as a leader, but my chapter advisor pushed me to inspire others with my passion for TSA. Now, I have been gifted with the opportunity to both represent TSA and spread the mission of our organization.
When I first joined TSA, I never imagined the places it would take me and the lessons I would learn. From competing in Prepared Speech at the national TSA conference as an introverted seventh grader to planning leadership conferences, I have cherished every moment in TSA and found the leader and voice within me. Now, as I embark on my fifth year in TSA, I have the honor to serve as your national TSA treasurer.
When I was in the 7th grade, I considered joining many clubs and organizations, but TSA specifically caught my eye. I learned about the amazing opportunities that the organization offers. From competitive events to leadership positions and amazing conferences, TSA had everything that I was looking for. When I signed up to be a member, I never imagined that I would have the opportunity to represent 250,000 students that will pioneer innovative success as our next national TSA reporter.
My TSA journey began when I was only six months old. My mom is a chapter advisor, and I have been traveling to national conferences with her since I was little. Growing up I always knew that I wanted to be a TSA member. I enjoyed going on trips, watching dragsters race, and seeing the cool projects everyone was doing. What I did not know, however, was that this organization would change my life. I am so grateful for everything TSA has given me and I am honored to serve as your national TSA sergeant-at-arms.
