Jocelyn Aristanto
President
A nursing major, Jocelyn is the girl to call when you have an injury or just want someone to lift your spirits. From Gainesville, Virginia, this second year will give you chills with her voice! While she might not know it yet, she brings something special to CHoosE and we can't wait to show her off!
Fun fact: Jocelyn has pet a koala in Australia (contrary to popular belief, they are indeed super soft and sweet).
Gabby Brown
Music Director
A third year from Montross, VA, Gabby is considering majoring in Women and Gender Studies and prides herself in her drumming skills (girl's got rhythm). Gabby also loves to spend quality time in shark heads with her sister (peep the profile pic).
Fun Fact: During quarantine, Gabby describes herself as "becoming a mild adrenaline junkie". Need a roller coaster buddy or someone to zipline through the trees with? Gotta give it to Gabby!
Will Muck
Publicity Chair
Now from an actual far away land, we have Will from Boerne, Texas! He's planning on majoring in Bio on a pre-vet track, but don't think homework is all this first year does. Between Quidditch, club running, and all the other clubs we've lost track of, Will does it all, with a smile on his face and the best energy ever.
Fun Fact: Will rocks the electric guitar and plays piano too! One man band, am I right?
John Berberian
Member
Where to start about John? How about his audition song was in German AND French? Or the fact that he was born in Dallas? Maybe his musical prowess is what should be admired most. Or the fact that he's a third year/forth year because he's graduating early as an electrical engineering major (I know, shockingly impressive!).
Fun Fact: John always carries a multimeter and small collection of umbrellas wherever he goes.
Lacey Bradshaw
Business Manager
From Herndon, VA (yes, another NOVA kid, they just multiply don't they?), Lacey is a second year psychology and sociology double major. If you're looking for someone to brighten your day, Lacey is the gal who always knows what to say :)
Fun fact: Lacey has a funky sock collection! Her favorite pair has raccoons wearing sunglasses, eating cotton candy on them.
Sallie Brooks
Assistant TO the Music Direction
Sallie is a first year from Williamsburg VA, and embraces everyone around her with fun loving energy and a beautiful soprano voice that you just can't help but smile at. But she doesn't save it just for college kids; this biochem pre-med major is the best sunday school teacher we know, and has won over every age group!
Fun Fact: Sallie has mastered the art of running up down escalators.
Caroline Santiago
Social Chair
This first year intended Commerce major is... drumroll please... Caroline from Virginia Beach! Not only is she quite possibly the coolest person we've ever seen wear a bucket hat, she lights up every room (or sporting event) she walks into with her lovely smile and her love for others.
Fun Fact: Caroline has the most aesthetic hand writing ever. Seriously. It should be a font.

Fun Fact: Ainsley was born on Christmas Eve, so you have no excuse to forget her birthday!
