Bio

Aloha, my name is Katja Berthold and I am currently a co-terminal student at Illinois Institute of Technology pursuing a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and an M.E. in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. I am from a tiny, beautiful city in the middle of the Pacific Ocean otherwise known as Honolulu, Hawai'i.

I am currently the President and co-founder of Intinium, a new student organization on campus that empowers students to unleash their full potential and pursue personal projects. In addition to this position, I am a peer tutor for the Academic Resource Center and the former Vice President of Communications for Illinois Tech's Student Government Association. When I'm not studying to become an engineer, I enjoy singing jazz at VanderCook College of Music and playing my ukulele whenever I can find the time!
