Congratulations to Dallas SWE’s July Member of the Month: Pratiksha Jaju!
Pratiksha is an IT Business Analyst at Overhead Door Corporation in Lewisville, Texas. She completed her Bachelors in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering from India and pursued her Master’s in Engineering Technology with concentration in Engineering Management from University of North Texas (UNT) in 2019. Pratiksha was actively involved with SWE at the UNT chapter and served as Graduate Student Officer for FY18-19. This is her first term with Dallas SWE as the Outreach STEM Committee Chair and is excited to be involved with Dallas section.
This year as Dallas SWE followed the path of virtual world, Pratiksha has been actively involved with all the events that were lined up this Spring. She has been adding good ideas to all the outreach events along with organizing and managing few.
She loves counselling and sharing her life experiences to motivate as many girls as possible towards STEM. With her family and friends support, she has come a long way, for specially someone who comes from a community where girls are still prepared for just handling a household. She tries hard to break the weird stereotypes that still surround women. Pratiksha believes in giving back to the society and SWE has given her the platform to do so. She hopes to serve the community for betterment and hope to be a good Samaritan.
