Each of our fifteen delegates has shown their commitment to excellence, not only academically but also in regards to their community and campus‐wide involvement. Each has demonstrated that they are ambitious, goal‐oriented, and hardworking leaders on the Texas A&M campus.

Andrew DeCheck 

Andrew DeCheck is a senior petroleum engineering major from Racine, Wisconsin. He has been involved with the Society of Petroleum Engineers and Tau Beta Pi. Most recently he has focused on educating younger students about the oil and gas industry. An experiment of his illustrating the concept of seismology was recently published and he will be touring multiple high schools and middle schools in the College Station area to both educate students and get them excited about potential careers in the petroleum industry.

Andrew is in the process of forming a non-profit corporation centered around the goal of mass education about the oil and gas industry. It is very common to see negative media portrayals of the industry. This is partially the fault of major oil companies for not paying enough attention to everyday people. For example, few people outside the industry actually know what fracking is, but there are plenty of people who will tell you that it is bad. Mass education, starting with young students, is the only way to combat this misinformation and lead us into a much more energy-conscious future.

Following graduation in May, 2014, Andrew will work as a petroleum engineer. After five years, he will go back to school to earn his MBA. This will allow him to either venture into management or polish his entrepreneurial abilities to start another company.

Herilala Fanomezantsoa 

Herilala Fanomezantsoa is a graduate student at the Bush School of Government and Public Service who is working on his Masters degree in Public Administration and Certificate in Advanced International Affairs. He hails from Madagascar, where he led a local-based association devoted to protecting the unique environmental assets of the country. Since his arrival at Texas A&M in August 2013, he serves as the international student representative at the Public Service Organization (PSO). Within that organization, he has had opportunities to volunteer for different events and activities at the school and the George Bush Presidential Library such as hosting speakers, giving tours of the Bush Complex to guests, and organizing Replant Day. He is also participating in the Bush School’s Dean’s Leadership Program to devise a ambitious personal plan to be achieved within two years.

Fanomezantsoa has already worked for a consulting office. He contributed to a wide range of projects for social, financial, and legal assessment feasibilities to inform governmental agencies and foreign companies. From that experience, he gained valuable experience in state regulation. Working in a team of consultants from different backgrounds, he also developed a keen sense of collaborative work and adaptability.

Since his country is underrepresented in the high sphere of international institutions, Fanomezantsoa plans to change that situation in favor of his fellow citizens. Accordingly, in the next five to ten years, he sees himself working for an international organization with a strong leadership position. This way he can admirably represent, around the world, the image of his country.

Peter Rozanski 

Peter Rozanski is a junior Civil Engineering major from San Antonio, Texas. Peter has had the opportunity to be in involved in a variety of campus organizations over the course of his time at Texas A&M, including The Horizons Program in the Mays Business School, Aggie Muster Committee, and the Brotherhood of Christian Aggies. Peter was also able to start a new human trafficking awareness student organization called Freedom Movement that continues to operate on campus.

Over the past two and a half years, Peter has been fortunate to gain experience in all corners of life—from academic to student government to travel to professional development. Peter’s current involvement with The Horizons Program has opened numerous doors in the management consulting world, particularly in developing connections with young consulting professionals and preparing for case-focused work. Peter’s shadowing opportunities with two civil engineering vice presidents in the Houston area provided him with insight regarding project management and business strategy in an engineering context.

Following graduation, Peter plans to work as a consultant for one of the larger strategy consulting firms. After completing several years of consulting work, Peter plans to apply to business school to earn an MBA before either returning to the consulting world or entering industry-specific work.

Atanasio Fernandez Sanchez 

Atanasio Fernandez Sanchez is senior Political Science and Philosophy double major. Atanasio has been involved in several student organizations during his time at Texas A&M including leadership development organizations like MSC LEAD, MSC Spencer Leadership Conference, MSC Abbott Family Leadership Conference, and the National Hispanic Institute. He has also been involved in several service organizations, such as Alpha Phi Omega National Service Fraternity, Student Government’s Parent Weekend Committee, the Texas A&M Foundation’s Aggies Giving Selflessly, and even serves as a volunteer at the Student Counseling Helpline within Texas A&M’s Student Counseling Services. Atanasio has been thoroughly involved within the Memorial Student Center’s resource areas, now serving as Vice President of Services and Facilities.

Atanasio has been exposed to the legal system through many avenues. Working in the El Paso County Court at Law #4 allowed him to form a deeper understanding of the work that comes along with litigation. Moreover, Atanasio has firsthand experience with the immigrant system having come over to the United States from Mexico when he was a few months old. He is aware of the intricacies that come with administrative law, and thus has gotten an overall grasp of in-court proceedings and transactional work.

While these are areas of law he admits he would be interested in practicing, he also looks forward to immersing himself in the myriad of classes law school has to offer. He knows that a JD opens the door to a versatile profession that can give one many different opportunities. Atanasio plans on working a full year in a legal setting before beginning law school in order to better prepare himself and make him a more competitive applicant when looking for a job after law school.

Samantha Siegler 

Samantha Siegler is a junior Finance major and Economics minor from Houston, Texas. During her freshman year at Texas A&M, Samantha’s goals were to establish a strong academic foundation and learn how to manage her time. Achieving those goals enabled her to figure out how many organizations and activities she could handle the following year. Since her sophomore year, Samantha has been involved in the Texas A&M Pre-Law Society, Aggie Investment Club, the Phi Eta Sigma Chapter of the National Honors Society, Honors Fellows, and National Society of Collegiate Scholars. Currently a junior, Samantha is now an executive officer of the Pre-Law Society, a selected participant of the Mays Business Fellows Program, and law director of the MSC Stark Northeast Trip of 2014.

Samantha has wanted to pursue a JD since she first witnessed her mom’s performance in the courtroom. Her interest in business began during her senior year of high school, when she interned for an energy hedge fund in Houston, called The Irish Exchange. This internship showed her a unique side of the business world and stimulated a curiosity in finance. That summer, Samantha’s fascination in business grew considerably throughout her second internship as development associate at The Holocaust Museum Houston, a non-profit organization. These two experiences encouraged her to strive for a BBA in Finance.

Her success in Mays Business School has thus far led Samantha to her third internship at Quanta Services, an S&P 500 Company, which will take place this summer. Despite her newly-found interest in business, Samantha is still exceedingly drawn towards law school, and jumps at virtually every pre-law opportunity presented. Samantha has two options following graduation from Texas A&M University. The first is to go straight into law school, work for Quanta Services in Houston for a couple years and then pursue an MBA. The second is to first work at Quanta Services for a few years and then earn a joint JD/MBA.

Bradford Stricklin 

Bradford Stricklin is a junior Mechanical Engineering major with a minor in Electrical Engineering from Houston, Texas. Bradford has served as the Vice President of Marketing and Communications for the Residence Hall Association, where he facilitated networking between the 8,100+ on-campus students. He also currently holds the position of Vice President of Development for the Memorial Student Center, in which he is responsible for growing relationships with the MSC’s benefactors and for helping to fundraise for the sixteen MSC committees.

Bradford has had the opportunity to experience the business world from multiple facets and in varying capacities. During his freshman year of high school he started his own tutoring business (ValedictorianTutors.com) which he cultivated and expanded until his second year of college. He was also one of five students and fifteen people on Texas A&M’s Dining Privatization Committee that were charged with deciding on a $100 million privatization agreement. Additionally, Bradford has interned with Bray International where he worked on an assortment of projects that connected engineering and business aspects of the company.

As a mechanical engineering major, Bradford intends to continue on the engineering track for the next several years before pursuing his Master of Business Administration. Bradford will receive his master’s degree in either mechanical engineering or materials science after his fifth year of college due to the fact that he is in the fast-track program. He then intends to either pursue a second graduate degree related to materials science at a different university or go to work for a couple of years. After he has served his time in industry, he will then go on to earn an MBA from a world-class institution. His goal is to start his own engineering firm and he knows having the MBA would be a great asset towards achieving this goal. His ideal firm would specialize in a specific area of research (possibly the same area as his graduate studies) and its utilization in the real world.

She has helped organize the annual Law School Caravan at Texas A&M University and she has helped build professional leaders by mentoring students hoping to succeed in their first year of college. Vanisha currently works at Nelson & Associates in Bryan, Texas. The engineering law firm has allowed her to gain hands-on experience in the field of law by reading depositions and indexing them, shadowing the lawyer during phone calls, listening in on depositions, and learning how the attorney gathers his information. Next summer Vanisha plans to observe a corporate lawyer in the area to gain further experience and learn about the different areas of law.

Following graduation, Vanisha plans to spend a semester working full time because she will have graduated a semester early and then in the fall she will go on to law school in pursuit of a JD.
