Shout Out to SPEople's
Alumnae!

One of the most transformative things about being part of SPE was how it built my confidence in so many ways. Coming from a technical background, it's easy to focus only on the numbers, but SPE pushed me out of my comfort zone and taught me how to actually own my voice in professional spaces.

One of the biggest things I got was definitely a boost in confidence. Being actively involved in the organization really helped me when it comes to representing my experience, whether it's during interviews or professional discussions at work. It gives you a track record to talk about and helps you get on the same page with different people much faster.

All those times meeting and connecting with different people along the way really made a difference. It's not something you notice immediately, but those interactions eventually add up and help you feel more at ease once you're actually in the industry. Plus, since SPE is already so well-known in this field, it gives you a solid common ground with almost everyone you meet at work. It really gave me the right mindset to start my career on a good note!

I joined the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) Universitas Pertamina Student Chapter early in my university journey. At that time, it was one of the first organizations I felt genuinely interested in joining, as it offered a chance to learn more about the energy industry while connecting with other students who shared similar interests.

As time went by, my involvement in SPE grew into something much more meaningful. It became a place where I could learn, contribute ideas, and work closely with people who were equally passionate about creating valuable experiences for students. Eventually, I had the opportunity to serve as President of the chapter, where together with an amazing team to organized various programs, from technical sessions, industry talks, and activities that support our member better understand the professional world with building bridges between students and industry professionals.

I'm truly grateful to have been part of a community that continues to support and inspire future energy professionals.

SPE Universitas Pertamina Student Chapter has been one of the most meaningful parts of my university journey. Through SPE, I learned not only technical knowledge about the energy industry but also the true meaning of leadership, collaboration, and taking initiative to create impact. Starting as a staff member in the External Affairs Department, then serving as Director, and eventually being entrusted as President, I had the opportunity to grow alongside an incredible team that continuously pushed boundaries and created opportunities for our members.

Being part of the chapter also allowed me to participate in international competitions and professional programmes, while contributing to the chapter's recognition as one of the top student chapters globally through the 2026 SPE Presidential Award. SPE UP SC will always be a place that nurtures growth, ambition, and a shared vision to contribute to the future of the energy industry.

My three years with SPE Universitas Pertamina Student Chapter have been a journey that shaped me in ways I did not always realize at the time.

Throughout my time in SPE, I was given countless opportunities to develop myself, both technically and beyond the technical side of petroleum engineering. SPE became a platform where I could learn, take on new challenges, meet students from different backgrounds and countries, and connect with professionals from the energy industry.

What I value most is the exposure and opportunities that came along the way. From working on technical and organizational projects, building a broader professional network, being selected as a delegate for OTC Asia 2026, to opening doors to various internship and career opportunities, SPE allowed me to experience things beyond what I could learn inside the classroom.

Over these three years, I also realized that growth does not always happen in obvious ways. The experiences I had in SPE gradually shaped how I think, communicate, manage my time, and work with a team. Looking back, many of these lessons became an important part of how I approach both professional and personal challenges today.

For me, SPE is more than just a student organization. It is a platform to learn, connect, explore opportunities, and challenge yourself. The more you get involved, the more you can discover what you are capable of and where the opportunities can take you.

Whatever direction my career takes in the future, I know that SPE will always have a part in it. SPE has become a meaningful part of my journey, and I hope it continues to be a platform where students can grow, build meaningful connections, and create opportunities for themselves and others.
