Executive Board

Hey everyone, I’m Dominic Nguyen and I’m grateful for the opportunity to be your President! I will be going into my fourth year for my bachelor’s in Biochemistry and minor in Neuroscience while pursuing medical school. Surgery piques my curiosity, but I have not decided on a specialty or focus. My motto going into AED is going full throttle on the experiences we will encounter and showing grace to the very people that will learn from these experiences. Some of my musical interests are Ado, Eve, and WIM. Playing video games, binging playthroughs, or going outside to do something on a whim is where I enjoy spontaneity in life. I wanna make sure you guys are open to the opportunities in disguise and help expose your true vocation. Please contact me if anything comes to mind!

My name is Natalia Nowak and I am a Biochemistry major with a neuroscience minor at UNLV on the pre-med track. As vice president, I am excited to get to know everyone and offer a supportive environment for everyone in AED! Outside of school, I enjoy playing video games, birdwatching, and scrapbooking. To get outside, I also like cycling and hiking around Mt. Charleston and the valley. Some of the music genres I listen to are industrial metal, eurodance, and EDM, so I love going to concerts whenever I can!
