Meet the Executives
President
Beatrice Eldridge | Industrial Engineering | St. Louis, MO
Hi!! I’m Beatrice, a third-year in Industrial Engineering with a minor in Computer Science. I started college as a Computer Science major, and I recently switched over to Industrial Engineering thanks to the support and encouragement of my sisters in A.O.E. I am an ambassador for the Tickle College of Engineering, I was a Teacher’s Assistant for three semesters, and I had an internship this past summer with Southern Company in their Technology Organization. I plan to pursue a career in production engineering where I can visit plants and help streamline their processes to maximize efficiency without losing quality. I love sports (mostly the Vols), line dancing, trivia, and traveling. In my past two years with A.O.E, I have traveled to 4 different countries with two different sisters, and I can’t wait to see where I can go next! I would love to chat with anyone interested in joining A.O.E. and go Vols!
