Ayesha Tayyiba
President
When I'm not stressing about school, I like to read, paint, and watch Netflix :). I also really enjoy experimenting with different forms of art: a few months ago it was embroidery, right now it's sewing! This year, I hope WiSC is able to create a tight-knit community, both online and on-campus, for women-identifying students!
Mishaal Farooq
Vice President: Internal Affairs (3rd Year)
Apart from studying and school, I love nature and going on adventures with my friends and family. I also love fashion and makeup, and you'll likely find me online shopping in my spare time :') This year, I would love to see WiSC hosting initiatives that bring together the entire community within these unprecedented times.
Celma Javier
Vice President: Human Resources (3rd Year)
A fun fact about me is that I love nature and advocating for the protection of our environment. One day I hope to explore the natural wonders of the world! I hope we can create more opportunities for people to continue to learn about STEM and their passions.
Dunia Stanojevic
Vice President: Computational Sciences (3rd Year)
I've been swimming since I was very young, so anytime I have the opportunity to go to the pool or visit the beach, you'll find me there! I also love being outside and going for walks with friends! I would love for WiSC to continue to have spaces where students can not only work on studying together, but also bond and create meaningful relationships with one another!
Eaman Tareen
Vice President: General Science (3rd Year)
My favorite thing in the world to do is grab a glass of coffee and read a nice book! I would love to see more science students get involved with WiSC and for WiSC to host more initiatives and events catered towards science students!

Virginia Chiu
Director of Mentee Relations (4th Year)
Over the pandemic I've picked up plants as a hobby - carnivorous plants and cacti in particular! I I also love to draw and paint in my spare time! This year, I'd love to see WiSC's mentorship programs attract more students and mentors alike.
Associates Team
Anh Nguyen
Associates Director (4th Year)
Fun fact 1: It's my last year (hopefully) at UTM, my second year at WiSC, and my first year being the Director of First Year Associates. Fun fact 2: The correct pronunciation of my name is "eye-ing" but i don't mind people mispronouncing it anyways I would love to see us WiSC up the initiatives that could not be implemented in the past years and more initiatives to come!
Aatma Patel
First Year Associate (1st Year)
My hobbies include travelling, practicing mindfulness, exploring the arts, playing net sports and reading.

I like to challenge myself often by taking on opportunities that get me to step out of my comfort zone, as such experiences bring about the greatest personal/professional/academic growth.
