OFFICERS
Officers (2007-2008)

President
Christina Wadhwani
Email: cwadhwan@gwu.edu
Year: Senior
Major: Public Health
Bio: I've been living in Virginia for most of my life and I feel that once I graduate, there is a whole world that I need to inhale and live. I love going to new places, experiencing new things, and learning new skills. I love children and my goal is to end child hunger--ambitious but it's possible. I love the Vietnamese Culture and I love being a Vietnamese American. One day, I hope to open a free but luxurious spa for under served women and children in the Community (after ending child hunger, of course.)

Major: Business Administration. Concentration: Finance. Minors: Math and French
Bio: Hien was born and raised in Vietnam and came to the US to study. She didn't plan to go to GW nor to join GW VSA but (fortunately) got sucked in by the super-energetic VSA president Christina during her sophomore year and hasn't been able to escape since. Currently, she still wonders (once in a while) why she came to GW but never has a second thought about VSA.

Thao T. Nguyen
Email: ttnguyen@gwu.edu

Major: International Affairs
Bio: I am from Methuen, MA and I attended boarding school at Phillips Academy Andover before coming to GW. I'm pretty proficient in Vietnamese, or at least I try to be and I'm working towards proficiency in Mandarin. I plan on majoring in International Affairs through the Elliott School. I also enjoy bouts of insomnia --punctuated by frequent Starbucks runs (I live across the street from Starbucks)-- and exploring DC at 2 in the morning. If any of you are up late and ever need anything, feel free to call me. I guarantee I'll be up.

Bio: I'm a Seattlelite and it's all I know. Bububut what exactly is a Seattleite? Urbandictionary.com defines as "one who lives close to Pike/Pine and spends half of his/her time sipping chai tea and studying for his bachelor's degree." That is exactly who I am. I enjoy squidding and clamming. I'm may be a little pretentious at times but it's how I flex my intellectual prowess. Don't let the looks fool you, I'm 100% Vietnamese. I've also acquired a fine set of nicknames over the years including: Puerto Rican guy, LocStache, Loc Dogg, Sketchfest. Oh and this is my third year in VSA.

I'm not Vietnamese, but I'm definitely interested in the Vietnamese culture --- that is all you need to have to be in VSA :D I hope to learn a lot by being in the Eboard for VSA this year. I am the controller of whatever goes on this web page, so beware, you shouldn't make me angry...;)
