Hey! I am Natsach, an international student in my second year of the Bachelor of Film Studies Program. I initially chose a different role within FASA in order to be involved in policymaking that would result in positive changes in student life, particularly in the Faculty of Arts. However, being one of two Directors of Photography has only fueled my passion for leadership and film. I get to take more photos that reflect the progress being made in FASA and am now privileged to sit with other FASA representatives to make decisions for the betterment of the broader campus community.

Hello, my name is Wyl and I’m a Third year BFA in Drama. I ran for this position to improve the connectivity between the Drama department, School Of Creative Arts and FASA. Sometimes Theatre can be super isolated, but art is to be seen and artists need help so that’s my job.

Hi! My name is Abbie Seto and I am in my second year double majoring in Psychology and Sociology. As part of our director of student engagement team, we assist in the organization and mobilization of students for action. Especially amid the recent concerns, over the recent budget cuts and severe tuition increases. Which is one of the reasons why I joined the team. Having been personally affected by these issues and being highly active on campus with other clubs, I want to play more of a part in helping advocate for the issue and actively make a change for this issue. In my free time, I love to travel and swim, meaning most days you would likely find me at the pool. I look forward to seeing you all at our upcoming events! :)

Hello, my name is Smruti and I am in my final year, pursuing BSc Psychology. As a Director of AURS, I aspire to facilitate the research symposium. I acknowledge student's efforts throughout the year dedicating their time towards research, therefore, giving them a chance to present their findings will help them enhance their skills.

Along with AURS, I am open to serve FASA with any activities where they need assistance. Outside of university, I like to spread the word of mental wellness and motivate individuals to distress for a better well-being. Some of the ways I like to distress are spending time in nature, focusing on my fitness and engaging myself in learning skills like baking!
