EXECUTIVES

president

Ashleigh Kruschel (she/her)

Hej, it's me, PresidentShleigh, back for round 2. Haven't heard of me? You may know me better as Blankshleigh, the girl who cries in Ann-Kathrine's classes, bangshleigh, the girl who slams back sammies in the brentwood browns washroom, or Lars Larsson. Still don't know me? Come find me on the BuTo 9th floor to chat about the SNSA, NORD, MEST, birds, cycling, and Fat Tug. You'll know me because I'll have a curler in my bangs, and I'll be munching a whole cucumber while chugging some caffeine. #ShleightheSNSA

treasurer

Naeem Jamal (he/him)

You may be wondering who is handling your inflation-resistant membership fee after you e-transfer it into the void... Thanks to Interac, it will end up safely in the SNSA coffers, carefully managed by yours truly. How can I be so sure? The vault can only be accessed to someone who can sing an entire song by memory by a super indie and underground band, One Direction. Flag me down with any questions or comments about finance, this website, or metro Vancouver's transit system!

vice president

Tyler Horman (he/him)

Hej alle, jeg er Tyler. As your Vice President, I have a highly secretive role in the SNSA administration. But rest assured that by the end of this year (my final one at UBC!), I intend to become the Mads Mikkelsen of the Lower Mainland. I'm happy to tell you all about Nordic Studies, Danish rock band Mew, and where to find organic beefsteak tomatoes. Vi ses i tårnet!

vice president academic
Formerly Vice President Events

Stella aNDERSSON (she/her)

Hej! I’m Stella, your VP Academic, and I am so grateful to be back as an exec for the (hopefully) final year of my undergrad! I am looking forward to creating fun and exciting academic events for you all, while slowly spreading the Nordic studies major (known more commonly as interdisciplinary studies) to the people. Vi ses på fika!

Vice president administration

Lina Pederson (she/her)

Hi everyone! My name is Lina, I'm a 5th year MEST and Human Geog major who is also going to be this year's VP Admin. This year is going to be rad (as the kids say)! If you can't find me in the tower, look up. If at that point, you don't see my little face staring back at you from in between the rafters, run. You are in the wrong timeline, and there isn't much time!!!

Vice president communications

Ikra Aziz (she/her)

Men la' mig værdsæt', hva' jeg har, før det pludseligt bli'r et minde.

Vice president social
Formerly Vice President Community Coordinator

Kyle Patry (he/him)

Hei Hei, jeg heter Kyle! I am a 5th year double History/Poli Sci major, and I joined the SNSA after returning from exchange in Norway last year. I am so excited to be this year’s VP Social and slowly (but surely) commence a Norwegian takeover of the club from the inside (don’t tell any of the other execs). I am a frequent loiterer around the 9th floor of Buchanan Tower, so if you have any questions about our social events or the SNSA in general, or just want to yap about Norway, dont hesitate to swing by and say hi!

Editor in chief (The scanner)

Anika islam (she/her)

Hej alla, I’m Anika and I’m this year’s Editor-in-Chief of The Scanner! I’m in fourth year Honours English Literature with a Nordic Studies Minor. Some of you may know me as the girl in love with Mads Mikkelsen, a claim I…can’t exactly deny. Say hello at Fika to get insider information about the best Nordic Studies classes (spoiler alert: it’s all of them), hear me yap about medieval literature (and its greatest adaptation, BBC Merlin), and snag a bite of the treats I may bake…I can’t wait to celebrate y’all’s work in the journal!
