Meet the Executives
President
Lorryn Alvis-Andies | Nuclear Engineering| Rogersville, Tennessee
Hey y’all! I’m Lorryn, a junior majoring in Nuclear Engineering with a minor in Decommissioning and Environmental Management and in the Cook Grand Challenge Engineering Honors program. I have interned with Southern Nuclear Company and Strata-G where I have gained valuable professional experience in the nuclear industry. Upon graduation, I plan to pursue a reactor engineering career with a focus on the management of radioactive materials.
In addition to my role as president, I am an ambassador for the Engineering Professional Practice office where I help other engineering students pursue professional opportunities by sharing my knowledge and experience. With my sorority sisters, I love attending football and basketball games, Go Vols! In my spare time I enjoy watching spooky and scientific videos when I get into a youtube wormhole with my cat MooMoo. I would love to chat with anyone interested in joining A.O.E. or about my professional experience!
