Hello TNTSA! My name is Onella Sharma, and I am a senior at Ravenwood high school. I am very honored to serve as your 2024-2025 Sergeant at Arms.
In 9th grade, I heard about a new club that was starting at Ravenwood: TSA. I was a little hesitant to join but from the first meeting I fell in love with this organization. My love for TSA grew as I attended regional, state, and national conferences competing in a variety of events. TSA has not only given me knowledge on STEM topics but friendships and long lasting connections. Many memories have been made since I first stepped foot into my first TSA meeting. Becoming a chapter officer my junior year led me to form a passion for TSA and inspired me to run for state office. Becoming a state officer was truly life changing and I cannot wait to serve TN TSA. Some of my favorite TSA events include forensic science and board game design, where I have learned more about my interest and creativity. Outside of TSA, I am involved in a variety of activities. I have participated in classical indian dance for over ten years and have choreographed multiple bollywood dances. I love to hang out with friends and meet new people. My favorite fast food restaurant would definitely be Chipotle. Some of my favorite artists include Drake, Bruno Mars, J-Cole, and Sabrina Carpenter. In addition to TSA, I am involved in a variety of clubs and organizations. I am in DECA, Model UN, Girl Up, Student Council, and others. These organizations have helped me learn more about myself and my skills. I have many goals for this upcoming year. Firstly, I would like to expand TSA chapters across the state mainly with middle school chapters. Creating more middle school chapters will get members involved at an early age and get more experience with TSA. Additionally, I would like to provide more competition resources for members to make competing an easier process. Competing is confusing at first but with these resources it can make members have an easier time. These goals hope to improve TNTSA’s membership and address the concerns of members and advisors across TN. I am immensely thankful for this opportunity to work alongside Team 47 and enhance the experience of TNTSA members and advisors. |
