Board

Hello! My name is Leah Maathey, and I’m incredibly grateful to serve as co-president of the Harvard Chapter of Engineers Without Borders this year. I’m currently a senior studying environmental engineering and living in Adams House. EWB has been one of the most defining parts of my time at Harvard, and I hope to continue pursuing this kind of work throughout my career as a professional engineer. Outside of academics, I enjoy discovering and reviewing new music and films, trying new restaurants, and traveling!

Hi! I'm Veronica, a junior in Leverett studying mechanical engineering. I joined EWB to meet great people and to put work into creating something tangible and sustainable in the real world that touches the lives of others. I love picking up new hobbies, but some of my main interests are outdoor activities, clown-adjacent tomfoolery, and tinkering/creating! 

Hiii!! I'm one of the Co-Directors for Fundraising and I'm so excited work together this upcoming cycle :D I joined EWB to help make an impact and deliver basic human needs to under-resourced communities. While there might not be a perfect solution, we can always try our best to reduce inequality around the world. When I'm not loosing my breath trying to climb up the stairs to Pierce or battling the urge to rest my eyes in class, I can be found panicking over psets, reading a good manhwa, or texting my friends something like "literally spiraling rn" because what. is. happening.

I joined EWB because I wanted to work with other students who also felt that engineering should be used to create positive change in other people's lives. EWB has taught me so much, including the importance of working alongside community members when creating solutions. When I’m not in class I love to run, dance, and try new recipes.

Hi! I’m Victoria Zambrano, a sophomore in Leverett House studying Mechanical Engineering on the pre-med track! I joined Engineers Without Borders to gain real-world engineering experience while making a meaningful, lasting impact in communities that need it most. Through EWB, I’ve had the opportunity to dive into areas of engineering I wouldn’t normally encounter in the classroom—like civil, environmental, water systems and more—and to collaborate with some truly brilliant and inspiring people. When I'm not studying, I love playing volleyball, reading, crocheting, shooting skeet and trap, and hunting down the best coffee/book shops around!

What’s going on everyone! My name is Carlos Gonzalez and I’m a rising Sophomore planning to pursue MechE! In my free time, you can catch me listening to music (Fuerza Regida, Ariel Camacho, & Junior H) or working out! I joined EWB to make a real impact on the several humanitarian projects we’ve got going on, so I can’t wait take them even further!

My name is Ian, and I am from Kenya!!! One of the projects we are doing this semester is based in Western Kenya and that was my biggest motivation to join EWB. I am so looking forward to the next two semester and to making change with the new board.

Hi!! My names Ella and I’m a rising sophomore in Eliot next year studying biomedical engineering. I joined EWB because I believe that engineering is a powerful tool that should be made approachable and accessible to all skill levels. Outside of school, I enjoy competing on the track and field team and cooking with my girlfriend.

I joined EWB because my interests in environmental justice and human rights work align with EWB's mission! I'm excited to work with EWB to create real change and make resources accessible. Outside of EWB, I love to run and enjoy the outdoors!

I joined EWB because I wanted to gain engineering experience. I love that the work we do goes beyond the classroom and helps real people. Outside of EWB, you’ll usually find me taking care of my indoor plants, teaching telescope classes at the Science Center, eating sweet treats, and dancing with my roommates.
