Michael Pekar
Treasurer
Hi! I’m Michael. Last year I served as the Workshop Director, and this year I’ll be serving the club as your Treasurer. Currently, I am in the final year of my Psychology Major. In my free time you’ll find me at the gym, watching plays, or checking out cafés. I joined the UADC in January 2023 and have been dancing since. I love learning all the various dances, but my favourite is Tango.
Haythar Haymin
Volunteer Director
Hi! I'm Heather and I'm excited to be a part of the club as this year's Volunteer Coordinator! I'm changing my major to Immunology and Infections, and I actually just joined the club in January 2025 with zero background in ballroom dance. But I completely fell in love with it so quickly that it only took me a term to decide that I want to join the exec team to be more involved and give back at the same time. Outside of the club, I love singing, dancing, watching movies and playing sports. If you ever need anything or have suggestions relating to volunteering, feel free to reach out – I'd love to hear from you!
