Executive Board

Hello everyone! My name is Francesca Lungu, and I’m thrilled to serve as your President! I am currently pursuing my bachelor’s degree in Biology with a minor in Neuroscience. My ultimate goal is to attend medical school and specialize in orthopedic surgery. Having been
involved in athletics my entire life, especially competitive swimming, I am passionate about staying active and healthy. In my free time, I love to snowboard, hike, read, and spend time with my friends and family. Traveling is another passion of mine, as it allows me to explore new cultures and experiences. My goal as Vice President is to foster a supportive environment where all members can connect, learn, and grow together, helping each other achieve our dreams while also making a positive impact on our local community. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or if you just need someone to talk to—I’m always here to help!

Hey everyone, I’m Dominic Nguyen and I’m grateful for the opportunity to be your Vice President! I will be going into my third 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!
