Vommi was very involved during her time at Brandywine, participating in the Multicultural Club and serving as the president of the Computer and Technology Club and the co-chair of the Brandywine Events and Activities Student Team (B.E.A.S.T.). She said her favorite memory was during her term as co-chair of B.E.A.S.T. when she and other students attended the Association for the Promotion of Campus Activities Conference, otherwise known as APCA.
“During my fourth year, I went to APCA with a few other student leaders in Hershey. During that week, we would go to different student leadership events, and we would see a lot of different people showcasing what they do and what kind of events they could bring to campus,” she said.
“It was cool to be able to not only go there as a student to enjoy the amazing skills and talents people have to offer but also as a recruiter to see if we should bring some of these people from the conference to Brandywine. It was a lot of fun, and I made a lot of incredible memories in the process.”
During her third year, Vommi secured a software engineering internship at Lockheed Martin, an aerospace and defense company. Once she graduated in May 2022, she was brought onto the team full time. As a software engineer, she writes telecommunication software for planes, assists with cybersecurity compliance, and reviews military-standard requirements. She notes that her favorite part of her job is having the ability to try so many different things.
“I’ve been working with the software team since 2020, and I’ve been very vocal about doing cybersecurity since coming on the team full time. I’m very fortunate that I’ve been able to try that out and have the opportunity to do that,” she said. “There’s so much to learn from all the different programs and projects that my job offers. In the process, I’ve learned exponentially the amount I would’ve been able to gather on my own.”
When asked what advice she would give to current Penn State students, Vommi emphasized the importance of getting involved.
