Our Team
2023-2024 Executive Board
Isaac Chang (he/him)
President
I'm a second year BioSci PhD student in the Biering Lab, studying the innate immune response to viral disease. You can catch me at concerts, on road trips, or cooking with cheese :) Excited to be serving you all!
Neva Olliffe (she/her)
Treasurer
I'm a second year BioSci PhD student in the Hargreaves lab studying epigenetics. I love musicals & bad sci-fi, not necessarily in that order. Looking forward to building our community this year!
Ellie Fausett (she/her)
Publicity Chair
I am a second year EBE PhD student in the BioSci program and am studying native ant colonies 🐛🐞! I am super into crafting and spend all my free time crocheting! I am taking a stained glass window making class this quarter and it's my entire personality. Can't wait to meet everyone soon!
Mari Williams
I'm a second year Biomedical Sciences student studying gene regulation! I spend lots of time tidepooling around San Diego and visiting farmers markets. I've made it my mission to try every bakery in San Diego, so let me know your reccs! Excited to meet y'all :)
Sonata Simonaitis-Boyd
Outreach Chair
I'm a first year Data Science PhD at HDSI working on novel machine learning applications for rare event search in particle physics. I was the Qtorship Mentorship Program Chair for undergrad oSTEM and am super excited to continue from the graduate side! My interests include medieval history, trying to brew a decent cup of decaf with my moka pot, and aerial silks. I also like to end my week with some rec fencing in the gym. En garde!🤺
