Hi New Jersey TSA! I am Seth Britton, your State President. I am currently a Senior at the Marine Academy of Science and Technology on Sandy Hook. This will be my fourth year in TSA purely because my Middle School did not participate in this great organization! I was able to attend Nationals in Nashville last year because of Engineering Design and Orlando this year with the former State Officer team. In Orlando, we met with several other state delegations who have all given us amazing ideas on how to improve NJ TSA. TSA has quickly earned a place close to my heart, and I’m ready to give everything I have for our state! Outside of TSA, I have played piano for 11 years and have taught piano for the past few months. I also row and coach at Navesink River Rowing, a Club Crew Team in Red Bank. Lastly, I’m a huge Pop Culture Nerd, so don’t be afraid to strike up a conversation with me about music, movies, or anything like that. I am so excited for this year, so let’s make it a good one! |

Hi New Jersey TSA! My name is Darren Schachter and I am your New Jersey TSA Vice President. I am a senior at High Technology High School, and this is my fourth year in TSA. Over the past three years, I have competed and placed in Technology Bowl, Technical Sketching and Application, Coding, and VEX Robotics at both the state and national conferences. Along with TSA, I am also a member of my school’s Robotics and Coding Club and VEX robotics team. Some of my interests include physics, robotics, programming, and math. Although this is my last year as a student in TSA, I am sure that it will be the best one yet! |
Treasurer: Jessica Kaiser |

Hello New Jersey TSA! My name is Jessica Kaiser and I am currently a junior at Freehold Township High School. I am your 2017-2018 NJ TSA State Treasurer, and this is my sixth year within the organization. When I had first joined in middle school, I had little knowledge of what STEM even stood for. Within that year I was challenged not only in the state and national competitions, but also within the activities of my very own chapter. Nothing was more rewarding or invigorating than pushing the boundaries of my own thinking and being able to create a project that I was truly proud of. Over the years, I have attended three national and five state competitions. I have placed in a plethora of both national and state events, in which I have discovered many new interests. TSA has played a large part in expanding not only my interests but also skills within the STEM field. Also, this organization has inspired me to further pursue my STEM interests in college. Beyond TSA, I am involved in softball, marching band, and concert band. While TSA, school, and softball ease my competitive edge, my music passion is what allows me to destress and express myself in a unique way. As your NJ TSA State Treasurer, I am eager to make this year great for the organization! |
