Our Leaders
Renée Menezes ~ President
Major: Psychology and Business Administration
Hi! I’m Renée Menezes, a junior at the University of Texas at Dallas majoring in Psychology and Business Administration.
On campus, I work as a Student Support Technology Supervisor for the Office of Information Technology, where I help lead a team that supports faculty and staff with technical services and troubleshooting. I also work on campus as an Event Specialist for DoorDash, helping organize and run promotional events for students.
Last summer, I interned with the fleet team at Toyota Motor North America’s headquarters in Plano, gaining hands-on experience in corporate operations and sales strategy.
I’m also passionate about helping students grow professionally while still enjoying their college experience, and I hope to help create spaces on campus that are both supportive and professionally enriching. When I’m not in class or working, I love spending time with my friends and hanging out with my dog Princess.

Outside of my academic and organizational commitments, I am passionate about personal discipline and continuous growth.

Hi there! My name is Madhu Govind, and I’m a sophomore majoring in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Texas at Dallas. Joining PGN was truly an eye-opening experience for me. As a freshman on such a large campus, it can feel intimidating at first, but PGN provided countless resources that helped me grow both academically and socially. Through PGN, I’ve been able to develop important soft skills like resume building and public speaking, which have been incredibly valuable. I now am the Vice President of Internal Affairs, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to continue building meaningful friendships while also contributing to an organization that means so much to me. My hope is that everyone who joins PGN has the chance to learn and grow together, and make the most of their experience in the organization.
Outside of PGN, I love to cook, swim, listen to music and pick up as many hobbies as I can. I also play the jazz flute and the wooden one, which allows me to stay calm, disciplined, and be in tune with my culture and community. I’m excited to see what this new year brings for PGN and how we can continue to grow!
