Everyone has different reasons for loving fall, whether that be the start of football season or the change in colors, but for me, it’s the utter joy and excitement of getting to introduce you all to the 2023-2024 QUESTPress staff!
To start, my name is Sona Chudamani. I am a senior Computer Science major in Cohort 37. Aside from being a Co-Lead for QPress, I am the Director of Corporate Relations for the Association for Women in Computing (AWC) and a research fellow at the Clark School of Engineering (feel free to reach out if you’re interested in joining either). One fun fact about me is that I got to see the All Too Well Short Film by Taylor Swift before it was released!
My Co-Lead, Ananya Khanna of Cohort 39, is a junior International Business & OMBA major. Prior to joining the staff, Khanna was a writer for Girl’s Life, where she wrote book reviews and summer/fashion-related articles. Outside QUESTPress, she is the Executive Vice President of the American Marketing Association (AMA). Fun fact: Khanna has watched TV shows in over ten different languages and understands four languages!
Our Webmaster, Brianna Mathieu of Cohort 37, is a senior Computer Science major. Mathieu also engages her writing skills through her involvement with Maryland’s HerCampus, a publication geared towards women on college campuses. Outside of writing, Mathieu loves volunteering, running, drawing, cooking, baking, and anything outdoors!
Now to introduce you all to our two new writers!
Isabelle Leo of Cohort 41 is a sophomore Computer Science major. Outside of QUEST, she is a part of the Design Cultures and Creativity Honors College, the Student Alumni Leadership Council, and her sorority, Sigma Psi Zeta! In her downtime, she enjoys reading, listening to music, dancing, and learning to play the electric bass.
Elizabeth Ipe of Cohort 41 is a sophomore Computer Science major. Aside from QUESTPress, she is a member of the Association for Women in Computing, a club that strives to promote inclusivity in STEM by giving underrepresented genders and allies in computing the platform to exceed. Fun fact: she loves to sing, dance, and act.
We at QUESTPress are all so excited for this year and can’t wait to report on all the fun events going on in the QUEST community.
