EXECUTIVE BOARD

My name is Kimberly (Parker) Schlauch and I graduated in 2003 with a B.S. in ChE. I currently live in the Wexford area (north of Pgh) with my husband and two daughters (ages 3 & 7). I also work in Wexford for Arvos Schmidtsche Schack in a multitude of roles but mainly as Product and Sales Manager for the sludge market. I am in the red family and look forward to seeing it resurrected and growing! I enjoy helping out my fellow sisters and giving back to the Sorority. My goal for this year is to improve our relationship with the active chapter. If anyone has any suggestions on what they would like to see from our alumnae association, please don’t hesitate to contact me! PRL, Kim

I was in the Delta class and Charcoal Grey family. I graduated in 2004 with a degree in Industrial Engineering. I have been working as an Inside Sales Engineer with ECI in Monessen, PA for the last 8 years while living in North Huntingdon, PA with my husband and our two boys. Life has been pretty busy with kids activities and a full time job. It has been a few years since I have been on the exec board, and I am happy to be involved again as VP of Communications.

I graduated in 2013 with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. I currently live in Squirrel Hill and work for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission as a resident inspector at Beaver Valley Power Station, a nuclear power plant in Shippingport, PA. I have been a member of the Zeta Chapter Alumnae Association executive board since 2013. I serve as the VP of Finance where I manage the annual budget, collect dues, and issue reimbursements. Please let me know if you have any questions about our Alumnae Association’s voluntary dues described below!

Hi! I’m Emily Lain and I graduated from Pitt in the fall of 2017. I was an IE undergrad and now work as a Quality Engineer at Bayer Healthcare here in Pittsburgh. While an active sister I served as president during the 2016-2017 school year, as well as a handful of other positions throughout my time at Pitt.

Howdy from Houston! I am a 2003 ChE grad and was the Alpha class founder of the charcoal grey family. Easiest color to wear! Plus, I had a pair of hot grey pants I loved to wear. I met my non-engineer husband Marco at Pitt and we have two rambunctious children, Carter (7) and Matthew (5). As children of two math people, surprisingly they actually both love math. I work for Univar Solutions as a finance project manager on a merger and I have done many more, and less, technical roles over time. I’m looking forward to coming to the Burgh for the 20th anniversary celebration next spring! You should come too!

I am a 2003 Chem E graduate from the delta class. I have previously served on the Alumnae exec board and am really excited to be back to help this year. I live in Scott Township (near Bridgeville) with my husband Adam, my son Caleb, our dog Luna, a bearded dragon named Rocky and an assortment of fish. Caleb is an active boy scout, and I have been involved with scouts as an adult leader since he started as a tiger cub 6 years ago. I also recently submitted my paperwork to be accepted as a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, thanks to my aunt finishing a huge research project to get our family approved. Outside of work and family, I have been keeping myself active with Tang Soo Do, a Korean martial art, and running.
