President: Selena Akay
Hey, all! My name is Selena Akay and I’m a 3rd year majoring in neuroscience! I joined AGSS because I thought it was an amazing opportunity for students to get exposed to the different areas within STEM and I wanted to support and help grow the organization as much as possible in order for more students to gain access. In the future, I hope to attend medical school and conduct research on neurodegenerative disorders. In my free time, I enjoy reading, cooking, trying new cuisines, listening to music, and learning about history! If you are interested in partnering with AGSS or you have any questions, please contact me at dvp9ey@virginia.edu or allgirlsstemsocietyvirginia@gmail.com. |

I've always been fascinated by human behavior and the intricate workings of the human body. I joined AGSS because I believe in empowering females in STEM from a young age. By being a part of this organization, I've connected with other women who share my passion.

Marketing/Social Media Chair: Allison DouglasHi! My name is Allison Douglas and I’m a third-year biomedical engineering major. I’m from Stony Creek, Va. I joined AGSS because I love STEM but also teaching kids, so the work AGSS does with the community just drew me in. I hope to one day be working on soft tissues and internal organs, more specifically within the diabetic realm or on the complete flip side of that go to medical school and become an emergency medicine / trauma doctor.. Outside of STEM, I really enjoy music (so much so that I am a part of the Cavalier Marching Band), coffee, watching Youtube, and p laying video games.
