Meet the team

Howdy Everyone! My name is Maxwell, and I am the returning President of ChemU! I am in my 6th and final year of chem eng and am incredibly excited to see what this year holds. The course union has a lot of exciting stuff coming up, and I am so glad I can be a part of it. When I am not doing a class or student group work, I am probably running, playing Mario Kart, or chilling at the beach.

​

My name is Mark Antony-Newman and I am this year's VP Finance for ChemU. I am going into my third year of Chemical Engineering having completed a 16 month co-op work term at a gypsum wallboard manufacturing plant. Outside of class you can find me studying at the SLC, working out at the MAC, or hanging out someplace else on campus. This is going to be my second year in a row in the VP Finance role, and I am excited to help ChemU host lots of great events and help out undergraduate chemical engineering students.

​

Hi all! I'm Behrad, aka Brad, one of your Co-VP Operations, and I make sure Chemu's operations run smoothly. I'm going into my second year of Chemical Engineering. A fun fact about me is that I love rock and metal music! I also love being involved in the TMU community, so wherever you see a student club, you'll probably meet me there.​

​

Hey! I'm Vennilaa, one of your VP Operations :) I’m in my fourth year of Chemical Engineering. In my role, I handle administrative tasks, develop merchandise, and coordinate events like Welcome Back Night, Industry Night, and more. My goal is to ensure our events are executed successfully, run smoothly, and that planning is completed on time, all while making sure our students have a great experience. I am excited to rejoin ChemU this school year, and with our team, I am looking forward to making it a memorable one!

​

I'm a student in the Chemical Engineering Program currently returning for my 4th Year following my co-op at Toronto Hydro. I have a passion for the application of Chemical Engineering in improving environmental conditions and safety.

​

In the coming Fall and Winter 2024-2025 terms I'm looking forward to helping fellow Chemical Engineering students in their academics and studies in my role as VP Academics.

​

As re-elected Co-VP Academics, I'll have the great opportunity again to enrich the academic journey for Chemical Engineering students. I plan on organizing Industry Speaker Nights, MATLAB/Excel tutorials, course-specific study sessions, and more, aiming to broaden our understanding of the diverse career opportunities within the field. I will also continue to help on "ChemEng Noted," a comprehensive lecture and tutorial note bank that supports students at all levels by providing valuable study resources. These initiatives will allow us to help create a supportive and engaging learning environment where students can gain the skills and knowledge they need to succeed.
