WV TSA State President - Ariel Dobbin.      

Hello WV TSA! My name is Ariel Dobbins and I am your 2025-2026 President. I am a junior at Clay County High School. I have been a member of TSA for six years. My favorite memory in TSA was getting dressed up with the girls for a photo shoot then going out for ice cream at the Gaylord Opryland Resort in Nashville. Outside of TSA, I enjoy theater. I participate in my school's theater program, and I am also a member of the Contemporary Youth Arts Company in Charleston, WV. Additionally, I am a member of my schools' band as a majorette where I twirl the baton. I enjoy traveling, hunting, watching movies, drawing graphic designs, and spending time with family and friends. I look forward to meeting you and together enjoying a highly successful year.

Hello, West Virginia TSA! My name is Emily Nguyen, and I am honored to serve as your 2025-2026 WV TSA State Treasurer. As a senior at University High School, this is my fourth year in TSA. While I have always had an interest in engineering, throughout my years in TSA, I have combined my love for the arts with my passion for STEM in my favorite competitions of Fashion Design and Technology, CAD Engineering, and Digital Video Production. TSA has always been close to my heart, home to some of my fondest memories and closest friends. Outside of TSA, I serve as Student Body Historian of Student Council, Treasurer of Art Club, and Co-Captain of Science Bowl, and am a member of the National Honor Society and Mu Alpha Theta. In my free time, I love playing and teaching piano, singing in my school, local, and state choirs, and manufacturing and assembling parts for Morgantown Area Robotics (#2614).

My two favorite competitive events are Transportation Modeling and Senior Solar Sprint. I have done both of these events every year I've been in high school TSA and I enjoy them because I get to work with CAD.
