This November, we feature Alicia M. Morgan as our Member of the Month! Alicia is a graduate of Tuskegee University with a Bachelor’s of Science Degree in Aerospace Science Engineering and New Mexico State University with a Master’s Degree in Industrial Engineering. Her professional engineering experience includes working at Lockheed Martin, The Boeing Company, and Raytheon.

Among her accomplishments, she’s been the Advisory Board Chair of the Academy of Engineering and Biomedical Sciences at Bryan Adams High School, promoting and impacting programs and National Academy Foundation certification, focusing on education, culture and student achievement. As a Program Leader at Heart House, she facilitated STEM learning centers for K-8th grade students.

“I have enjoyed being surrounded by a network of women who support each other. The Dallas SWE community has helped me find ways to advocate for other women and girls in the STEM Community. I have equally enjoyed being a part of the programming committee and helping to bring in engaging speakers to speak about topics that help members develop themselves personally and professionally.”
