Hi! My name is Katie and I am super excited to meet all of you! Some facts about me - 3 things make up my entire personality: Taylor Swift, drinks, and complaining. I love listening to music and making playlists! I enjoy all sorts of music, but my love for Taylor Swift is insurmmountable. I love fun little drinks and beverages - I would drink every meal if I could. I love a fun coffee, matcha, battery acid energy drink! I do not LOVE complaining, but I do that too and I would love to complain with you <3. So excited to meet you all!
Please reach out if you would like to talk about Taylor Swift, grab coffee, or complain!

Helloooo, fancy seeing y'all around here <3 Just a tad bit about myself - I'm from South Jersey (I tell people I'm from "outside Philly" even though I'm about an hour away lol) and I can be a bit chaotic at times. In my free time, I enjoy being one with the grass on Schenley Plaza, hammocking, watching anime, listening to music (obsessed with artists like NIKI, Tiffany Day, mxmtoon, Dominic Fike, etc), over-caffinating myself with coffee, and vibing with my friends. You'll always see me on the 4th floor of Hillman studying away during the school year, so feel free to come say hi! Feel free to hit me up if you wanna grab coffee or study with meee <3

Hi everyone! I'm very excited for the upcoming year and I can't wait to see what we all accomplish together! I'm from the lovely Buffalo, New York, and I dream that the Bills will actually make it out of the playoffs this year. In my spare time, I love to play guitar and go to the gym, specifically the one in the basement of Trees because it's the best. I'm looking forward to learning lots of new names this year and having a great time with everyone, see you all around campus!

Jeff Zheng

Pronouns: he/him
Hometown: Erie, PA
Year: Junior
Majors: Computer Science & Data Science
Minor: Economics
Hi y'all!! Let's see what should I mention about myself that makes me sound cool. Hmm...I'm struggling here. Anyway I'm the resident CS major so if you need tech support I'm the guy. Otherwise, you'll probably catch me hanging out and studying on WPU 6. In my free time, I enjoy running in Schenley or playing mobile games (currently just got back into Brawl Stars). If you see me touching grass or just want to say hi, approach at your own risk. In all seriousness, I'm not that scary, and I look forward to meeting you all this school year. My insta is down below, but if you really wanna leave an impression add me on LinkedIn 😂

Angela Yang
Position: Media Chair
Pronouns: she/her
Hometown: Havertown, PA
Year: Sophomore
Major: Chemistry
Hihi! So some things about me is that I like to draw (hence signing up for design), I like to watch anime, spend my free time playing valorant (I know, I’m sorry), dabble in crocheting, and I like to play volleyball to stay active! Boba, matcha, and coffee are my weaknesses so 90% of the time you’ll catch me with a drink in my hand (what can I say its a studying essential), but I still love meeting new people and hope to meet more of you at CASA’s events! Don’t be afraid to reach out!
