    Hello Beta Gamma Sigma community! ✨

    I realized I haven't properly introduced myself yet, so I wanted to take the opportunity to connect with this amazing network.

    I'm Srira, a French engineer πŸ‡«πŸ‡· currently pursuing my MS in Energy Management at UT Dallas πŸŽ“. I joined Beta Gamma Sigma about two months ago, and I'm excited to be part of a community that brings together talented students and professionals from around the world.

    Before moving to the US πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ, I gained 4+ years of experience in electrical engineering consulting and project management, working on energy and infrastructure projects in France.

    I'm passionate about renewable energy, sustainability, and project leadership. I would love to connect with fellow BGS members, learn from your experiences, and exchange ideas.

    If you're working in energy, construction, project management, or have an international career journey, I'd be happy to connect! 🀝

    Looking forward to getting to know this community better.

    Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn: srira saminadane

    Hi Srira! Welcome and congratulations on your Beta Gamma Sigma membership. We're so excited to have you as part of our community.

    I see you're in the Dallas area, and if you're not already familiar, we do have a Dallas/Fort Worth Area Alumni Chapter. If you haven't connected with them yet, I'd definitely encourage you to consider reaching out. It's a great way to meet fellow BGS members locally, expand your network, and hear about upcoming events and opportunities in the area.

    I wish you all the best as you continue your studies at UT Dallas and I hope you're able to make some great connections through BGS!

    Best regards,

    Katie Avendano
