Kameron Jones

My name is Kameron Jones and I am a senior in Mechanical Engineering. This is my third school year as a MESA tutor, and I love the connections I've made with other Mechies as they progress through the program. Apart from engineering, I enjoy snowboarding, hiking, mountain biking, skateboarding, and ice hockey. I am a part of the CSU Snowriders and I jump at every opportunity to go into the mountains. I’m excited for the opportunity to share my experience as I look forward to graduation.

Alex Tongren

My name is Alex Tongren and I am a fourth-year mechanical engineering student on the pre-med route. My favorite courses at CSU have been MECH 200, 344, and Calc 3 because these classes really helped me fall in love with the complexities of engineering. Besides school, I enjoy playing basketball at the rec, mountain biking, working out, and spending time with friends. Engineering is an exciting and rewarding field, and I'm thrilled to share my passion for it with you!

Bree Rahbari

I am a fourth year Mechanical Engineering major graduating in Fall 2026, and a first generation student. My favorite class so far has been MECH 344, Fluid Mechanics, because although it was a very challenging course, it showed me that I am able to apply myself and succeed in subjects I at first found difficult as well as it being a good introduction to real engineering problems. Outside of school, I work at a coffee shop, but in my free time I love drawing and painting as well as taking care of my cat named Salem!pe
