Iota Chapter at Ohio Northern University
“Phi Rho shaped me as an undergrad, but I didn't appreciate its full impact until well into my alum journey. I appreciate the friendships and networking even more now as a professional and am so proud of what our Sisters and Siblings have accomplished. We build up each other as we build the future!"

Professionally, I am a Staff Systems Engineer for Northrop Grumman Space Systems. I live in the DC area with my husband and two feline fur babies, Hamilton and Sammy, and can be found running or crafting if I'm not golfing, traveling, or playing in a concert band!

Kaitlyn Robinson

"I joined Phi Sigma Rho in my sophomore year of college because I wanted to find a group of like minded people and didn't feel a lot of the other organizations felt like home. Phi Rho got me my first on campus job that then parlayed into my whole career in machine learning engineering from a MATLAB teaching assistant. Some of my best friends have been found through Phi Rho and I love being able to try and help give a similar experience to other members!"
