Natalie Choi - Executive Secretary
Email Natalie
| Hi. I'm Natalie Choi. After technically graduating high school a year early, I decided to attend a community college before transferring to USC as a junior. At my previous school, I was student representative for the Instructional Food Service Committee and treasurer for one of the largest clubs on campus, the Doctors of Tomorrow club. Despite not going toward the medical field, I wanted to contribute to the club by helping them balance their financial reports and to also help fundraise four thousand dollars for events, such as the annual health fair, biomedical conference, and science night. While balancing and organizing my time with leadership positions, honor courses, and volunteer services within my local community, I realized my strong passion and commitment toward accounting. After being an active member, I am now Executive Secretary for ALPFA, as well as Director of Special Events for Accounting Society. |
Kamweng Wong - Director of Technology
Email Kam
| Hi, this is Kam. Throughout this semester I will be bringing you the latest news of ALPFA. Although I am a business major, I have been exposed to technology throughout my entire high school life. I decided to switch to business after knowing that I have a great interest in the business world after having some fundamental business courses during my freshman year. At this point, I am confident that I have made a excellent choice to come to Marshall.
