Hey everyone! I’m Marco, President of the Phi Theta Kappa Beta Gamma Upsilon Chapter. I’m passionate about leadership, service, and student advocacy. Beyond PTK, I’m actively involved in student government, the Ambassadors Program, the Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee, and the Psychology and Philosophy Club. I’m excited to help our chapter grow and create opportunities for our members to thrive!

Hi all! My name is Samuel Gustafson and I’m your Vice President this semester! I’m originally from Utah and currently studying Philosophy here at SBCC. In my free time, I love playing board games, hitting the beach for some sports, and baking (especially when it involves too much vanilla). I’m super excited to be part of this amazing team and can’t wait for everything we’ll accomplish together this semester!

Hi! I’m Vania Pereyra, Vice President of Scholarships for PTK at SBCC. I’m from Lima, Peru, and just moved to Santa Barbara last year but I’ve already fallen in love with the people, nature, and energy here! As an International Relations major, I’m always excited to keep learning and growing. I’ve been a dancer my whole life, and wherever I go, the ocean is never far. I love connecting and getting to know different people and I am grateful to be part of PTK and can’t wait for what’s ahead for our chapter!

Hey, my name is Hannah An Jensen and I am your VP of Fellowship this semester! I was originally born and raised in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, then I moved to Palo Alto, California, two years ago, and now I am a freshman here at SBCC. I love going to any music-related event like band shows, concerts, live music nights, and open mics! Currently I’m studying psychology and hope to pursue a career in public relations of any sort. I enjoy doing the NYT wordles but I SUCK at connections.
