Below are some of the experience, or extra-curricular activities I’ve been involved in.

I took part in administrative activities of UWDECA, such as directing, implementing, and hosting the 2009 UWDECA Spring Invitational, as well as any tasks necessary to keep the club running. I am also the marketing committee coordinator, in charge of promoting and providing marketing materials for any UWDECA events, by working with a marketing team.

Recently, I have also been given the new responsibility of being the Communications Officer of UWDECA. This role involved all internal communications, including the creation and maintenance of the UWDECA website [link].

AFSA is the new student association in the University of Waterloo that provides services to all students under the school of accounting and finance. It also helps other students that want to pursue a career in accounting and finance. This organization was made to replace 2 similar accounting and finance student associations, so there will be 1 organization instead of 2. I was part of the implementation team that helped get the basic framework of this organization, we made critical decisions of how the new organization is going to be run by coming up with questions and topics, which went on a forum so other students to express their opinions.

The AFSA Communications department is responsible for the AFSA website [link], the DVD yearbook, the AFSA newsletter, and the occaisional designing of marketing materials. As a team lead I’m responsible for supervising and assisting the committees that works on these projects. The project that I specialize on out of all of these however, is the DVD yearbook. The AFSA DVD yearbook will be a video yearbook recording all the events and services AFSA had, and giving the viewers an idea of what the term/year was like, as well as some extra useful content.

To Celebrate the launch of AFSA, we’re throwing a big party! Come check it out at the Arts Lecture Hall 113 at 5PM! As a Launch Party Committee member, I am part of a group that plans and organizes everything in the launch party, including food, decorations, promotional materials, budgeting, and logistics.

The CBET Development committee works on helping to implement an entrepreneur event, made to help 25 student teams of entrepreneurs get the experience, planning, and funding they need to start their own innovative venture. The committee has a wide range of duties, including budgeting, finding sponsors, coming up with ideas, thinking up marketing ideas, making marketing materials, promotion of the event, and other tasks that needs to be done. I specialize in marketing, as well as website consulting/advice giving.
