CIVE Student leader + advocate

My name is Naomie Seh Abomo and I am a 3A Civil Engineering student. My industry interests include master planning and resilient urban development. In my free time, I partake in leadership roles such as Social Events, Vice President, and President of the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) UW chapter and other roles that allow me to affirm and empower particularly black and underrepresented students. I also take great pleasure in singing and dancing, and spending quality time with my dear friends and family.
