class president · Dominic Marsalese
Dominic was born and raised in Metro Detroit. After graduating from Northville High School, he attended Michigan State University, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in Human Physiology. An avid golfer, Dominic finds his peak dopamine rush on the first tee box during an early morning round on a beautiful summer day. Growing up in a large Italian family, he was taught by his elders that cooking for loved ones is one of the most meaningful ways to show love. Today, one of Dominic’s favorite hobbies is preparing meals for friends and family, finding joy in bringing those closest to him together around the table. Dominic is known to pace manically around the house and yard like a madman while studying. He enjoys any and all kinds of competition, going on runs with his two dogs, and eating entire watermelons in one sitting.
VICE President · James Ha
James was born in Seoul, South Korea, and moved to Troy, Michigan, when he was six. He attended Troy High School and completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Michigan, where he received a B.S. in Movement Science. He later moved to Bloomfield Hills, became a personal trainer at Equinox, and eventually started a small personal training business of his own.
When he’s not doing his 1,000 Anki reviews per day, you’ll find James watching any Detroit sport, golfing, skiing, drinking caffeine in any form, cooking a recipe he found on social media, or spending some quality time doomscrolling. He also occasionally trains for unnecessarily difficult physical activities like a Hyrox competition or a marathon “for fun.”
In any case, James will try anything “for the vibes” and is ready to vibe with anything and anyone.
treasurer · Yousef El-Magharbel
Yousef was born in Ann Arbor, MI but was raised in Southern California. Honoring his Michigander roots, he attended the University of Michigan where he double majored in Bassoon Performance and Performing Arts & Technology.
When he's not catching up on lectures, Yousef is likely fighting the urge to climb any structure he comes across, bumping 80's soul/funk music (The Whispers - favorite band), or kickin' it with his pups Zeemo and Boosa. If you see this guy on campus, just know he's always down to defend his Connect 4 champion title (self-proclaimed), make a beat for anybody who asks, or talk about the current random thing he’s attempting to build in his garage.

Lc/House rep · Miranda Baumbick
mbaumbic@wayne.edu
Miranda Baumbick was born in Novi, Michigan, but her dad's job had other plans. She spent three years in Melbourne, Australia, and survived middle school in Düsseldorf, Germany. Returning to Michigan, she attended Novi High School before heading to the University of Michigan, where she earned a B.S. in Biology, Health, and Society with a minor in Medical Anthropology.
During her gap year, Miranda moved to Chicago and had the best year of her life. She explored the city so thoroughly that she’s compiled her own Chicago guide and has made the city her entire personality, to the point where people assume she's from there. Between frolicking the city, making lifelong friends, and also working at Northwestern Medicine, she somehow fit it all in.
When she's not running the school's ping-pong table, she's making homemade memes, sprouting at a house concert, or walking her dog, Charlie. Unusual skills include being a middle child and a future Dr. Barbie.
