About
My name is Madeline Finamore. I am attending Kettering University and pursuing a major in Industrial Engineering and minors in Business and Sustainability. I choose Kettering because of its amazing opportunities with the co-op program and its reputation amongst the engineering community. At my university, I am a member of Alpha Sigma Alpha. I chose ASA because of the wonderful members, the sisterhood, and the opportunities that come with it. I grew up as the youngest child with no older sister to lean on. ASA will provide me with the experience I have never had, and I am so grateful to have joined them.
