Hello! My name is Kirsten Welch I am the President of CA-AA Chapter. I am currently majoring in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Project Management and will be graduating in the Spring of 2024. Throughout my time at Chico State I have been involved with the SAE Baja team and gained hands on experience with various systems on the car. I have also been able to gain additional experience through an internship I completed at Butte ACM-LLNL, and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory where I was able to implement design intent, documentation strategies, and additive manufacturing techniques. I hope to be able to attain a Masters degree in Mechanical Engineering upon graduating. My dream job is to work as in the defense industry and work as a project manager or design engineer.
