Executives
Malea Nguyen
Co-President
Hey, I'm Malea! I’m in my final year studying Biological Sciences, and I first joined Humans of UCalgary in Fall 2020 as a Photojournalist. Connecting with one another has been such an enlightening opportunity — especially with HOUC, where I’ve been able to capture your story and bring your experience into light. Feel free to say hi if we ever cross paths, I’d love to hear about you and your passions, ideas, whatever it may be!
Kelsey Stephen
Co-President
Hi there, I’m Kelsey! I’m in the final year of my Multidisciplinary Studies degree. I joined Humans of UCalgary during my first year of university and absolutely fell in love with photojournalism. My favourite part about the club is that I get to express myself creatively and have great conversations with cool strangers. If we ever cross paths, feel free to chat with me about fashion, sustainability and anything that may interest you!
Topan Budiman
VP IT
What's up, I'm Topan! I am the VP IT for Humans of UCalgary and I am in my final year of Software Engineering! I enjoy working out, playing volleyball, road running and photography. Feel free to holla at me if you ever see me around or on campus :)
Jayden Tran
VP Events
Hey there, I'm Jayden (he/they)! I'm a fourth year student in Mathematics with a passion for photography! I'm usually pretty friendly to talk to and hopefully I can foster an environment for introverts to make excuses to socialize as VP of events.
Asha Nathoo
VP External
Hello, I'm Asha! I am a third year student studying political science & communications with a certificate in global citizenship & pluralism. I’m passionate about social advocacy, civic engagement, and all things community-related. I truly believe that each one of us has incredibly valuable lived experiences and stories that we bring to the table. I look forward to being able to use Humans of UCalgary to share these beautiful stories and create connection. I enjoy biking along the river, reading historical fiction novels, and baking all sorts of sweet goodies!
MacKenna Christophe
Advisor
Being a part of Humans of UCalgary has changed the way I communicate, connect, and approach the people around me. I’ve learnt that everyone has a story, and that every story shared is a true value of our experiences and our lives. I love to hear your stories and the passion I see when you share them. You would be amazed by how many people can relate! To be able to continue the vision and dreams from 2015 HOUC…. I couldn’t be more honoured.
Maahika Mehta
Advisor
Hey there, I’m Maahika! I’m in my third year studying Biomechanics and I am an advisor this year. I think I’ve always revelled in stories. The silent moments, unforgettable memories, life-changing experiences. And the sheer magnitude of diversity between all of our experiences is empowering. I think that’s what I love most about being a photojournalist for the Humans of UCalgary. No story is the same and there’s so much beauty in that. If we ever cross paths, feel free to chat with me about photography, climbing, poetry or anything else under the sun!
