Brewery Committee

Yiqi (Mitchie) Zhao
o I am from Food, Nutrition and Health Program in the Faculty of Land and Food
Systems, and we had courses about agriculture, food producing and
sustainability such as LFS 100 and LFS 150. After taking those courses, I have
learned knowledge about food producing and proceeding, as well as
environmental sustainability. As a result, I would like to apply the knowledge
through this job.
I am a volunteer at the UBC Farm, and I am familiar with plants and animals.
According to the AMS Sustainability Project website, I learned that the project
includes green building and seed hub, which interests me a lot. I want to
continue working with plants and soils and helping make our campus more
green.
For the Brewery Committee, since my major will be Food Science, I want to
combine my work and major. I also want to learn more about food services
through this position, get involved in the community and help develop AMS at
the same time.

Rukhsar Momin
o I am interested in Budget committee due to my prior background of Accounting
and Finance and current program of study that deals in financial management. It
includes the aspect of effective budgeting and planning. I want to execute my
academic knowledge in a relevant work role to provide the benefit to AMS and
enhancing my experience as well. I am an International student from Pakistan
therefore I want to join AMS to enhance my networking with the people out
there. I have an excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
Kindly consider my application in making your decision.
Kevin Doering
o I am deeply interested in financial matters and would like to have my voice
heard regarding the future direction of the AMS. The distribution of surpluses
and responses to deficits within the AMS is a matter of great interest to me. I
am particularly excited by the opening of the new businesses and operations
within the Nest, as well as the impact this will have on the expanding and
rebranding AMS’ revenue and image. Finally, the scope and depth of the AMS’
finances is unlike any of my previous financial experience and presents an
refreshing and challenging involvement.

Soham Parelkar
o My name is Soham Parelkar. I am interested in joining the Education Committee.
Having experienced a university wide labour union dispute at the University of
Toronto that gravely affected my educational experience, I want to ensure that
my new university - UBC - has a strong academic disruption policy. Ensuring that
a policy does not infringe on students' rights is very important to me.
Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend the AMS Council as I have summer
school during that time. I will be available to work for the Education Committee
until Mid-August as I will be out of the country after that period, until early
september.

Alexander Remtulla
o My name’s Alex Remtulla and I’m running to be a member-at-large on the
Student Life and Communications Committee.
I bring with me a great deal of experience in marketing and event management,
having worked for various student-life groups around campus, from REC to
Campus and Community Planning, as well as for off-campus events like the
Vancouver Marathon and this year’s FIFA Women’s World Cup. I also sat for the
past year on the SLCC where I chaired the largest-ever Faculty Cup and have
already begun work on next year’s event.
I also work as the Executive Projects Assistant overseeing student life initiatives.
It’s an area I’m both passionate and knowledgeable about and I would love to
continue my work with the Committee in order to help make an impact on
student life around campus.

Zhenni Jiang
Sarina Chen
o Attending UBC in this past year has reignited my awareness and passion for
sustainability. Things as simple as having waste sorting bins around the campus
has impacted my life in a significant way. Now I can no longer throw away any
garbage freely without feeling a bit guilty for not recycling properly. It is small
moments like this that reminded me of the importance of raising awareness for
sustainability. As an immigrant who have grown up in China, the environmental
challenges that humans face today are much more real to me for that I have
experienced what it is like living in a developing country, where drinking water
must be purchased and where blue sky is a rare treasure. I want to be a part of
the Sustainability Projects Committee because I want people to become aware
of how fortunate it is to live in a country with such vast amount of natural
resources, and how instead of taking advantages of it, we should take on the
responsibility of protecting these resources by living sustainably.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Peter Siegler
o I am interested in becoming more involved in the UBC community at large in as
many ways as possible, and one way in which I wish to do so is by becoming an


external correspondent to the AMS. I am also largely concerned with issues
related to sustainability, and have tried to keep a focus on sustainable practices
while working with the groups in which I am involved on campus, such as the
Land and Food Systems Undergraduate Society. I would be available to work as a
student-at-large for a long period of time, and am willing to commit to this
position until April, 2016 as requested. Because of my desire to involve myself
long-term with on-campus positions related to sustainability, I feel I would be a
good fit for one of the students-at-large on the Sustainability Projects Committee
through AMS.

o As the recent NDP electoral revolution in Alberta has shown, the political policies
of a region can shift in a moment. The University of British Columbia (UBC)
actively engages with different levels of government, allowing it to make
informed and inclusive decisions to maximize the quality of life for its students
and employees. As I enter my second year, I would be honored to serve on this
committee. By applying organizational and communication skills that I have
developed through past leadership positions, I would effectively represent the
interests of UBC and help the University position itself to thrive.
Abdullah AbdulSattar
o My name is Abdullah AbdulSattar and I am extremely interested in being a part
of the AMS committee. I am enthusiastic for the areas of sustainability projects
committee and University & External relations committee.
With my prior experience as the President of Pakistan student association for 2
years, I have developed the interest to work for the greater good and hence
want to be a part of the AMS committee and give back to the UBC family.
Please consider me for a position in the committee.

Delaney Griffiths
o I am a recently finished first year Arts student here at UBC. I am very passionate
about local and global politics, with aspirations of a major in International
Relations and ultimately a career in International Humanitarian Law. Due to my
passion for justice and education, I believe I would be a excellent member of the
University and External Relations committee. I will gladly lobby to improve the
lives and university experiences of my fellow classmates. I have previous been a
Student at Large member of Legislative procedures (this past spring), and have
held various leadership positions throughout my high school education in
organizations which raises funds and awareness to worthwhile causes.
