My name is Taylor Cazabat and I am a Biomedical Engineer by trade and a higher education professional by experience. As a Wichita native, I attended Wichita State to receive my bachelor's in biomedical engineering and enrolled in an accelerated master's program for the same. As my time in school comes to an end I can think of no greater honor than serving the Wichita Section of the Society of Women Engineers to help connect the strong presence of women and allies in STEM that occupy the Wichita and surrounding areas. My experiences in leadership of the collegiate SWE section as Vice President, and other student organizations as President, Secretary, Morale Chair, and more have helped shaped my ability to see an existing program and analyze what is going well and what ways the general body could be better impacted by efficient changes to increase experiences. I hope to join the executive team of the Wichita Section to connect and welcome as many new and existing members as possible, help connect the professional section with the collegiate section, and use strategic positioning to work on pipeline development between the local manufacturing climate to engage with as many new women and allies in STEM as possible!
