MICHELE TRICKEY
(International Student Senate 2010-2011)

PRESIDENT, AIESEC UNITED STATES

Michele Trickey is the President of AIESEC United States, Inc., the United States chapter of the world's largest youth-run association. Her work supports youth leadership development in the 110 countries and territories of the AIESEC network through AIESEC's unique combination of international internships, team-based leadership experiences, and a global learning environment. During Michele's tenure as President, AIESEC United States has grown its partnership with such firms as DHL, Sony Ericsson, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, and other recognized industry leaders, making it possible for aspiring young leaders from other countries to experience the business culture of the United States. Michele's team has also supported the growth of AIESEC's Salaam exchange program, which develops connections between students in United States and Oman, Bahrain, and Qatar.

Michele received her bachelor's degree in physics, summa cum laude, from Yale University in May 2010. As a student, she conducted research on the dynamics of rainfall over coastal Chile and Ecuador as part of a broader project in sustainable wetland management. Her experience with large volumes of complicated weather data led to her interest in information management and business intelligence in an increasingly digitized world. Michele speaks English, Spanish, as well as passable Russian and MATLAB. In her free time she reads, creates messes in the kitchen, and tries to keep up her Shotokan karate.
