Meet the Execs

2009 ASOC Exec

President - Michael Zhou

Michael’s role as the president involves providing guidance and supervision for the executive body and ASOC. He is also required to represent ASOC at various external meetings. In his spare time, he likes to eat at nice Japanese restaurants, and listen to trance music. He would love to travel the world when he graduates and he vows never to get sunburnt again like he did during summer. He also has a goldfish named Bluey.

VP External - Steph Wong

Wanted for the crimes of: establishing ASOC’s relationship with the industry and especially the various sponsorship companies; liaising with company representatives and also various other external entities.

Distinguishing traits: a very bushy ponytail which occasionally gets stolen. Extremely flexible, with the ability to fold herself in half. Immune to poisons such as eggplant and rockmelon. Can often be found in dance studios, particularly those pertaining to pole dancing or ballet. If you see a suspicious person carrying a grey bag, then watch out!

VP Internal - Sally Hsieh

As Vice President Internal, Sally’s role is to act as a point of contact between ASOC and the univeristy, in particular Arc and the school of Actuarial Studies. She is also responsible for the research of grants and funding available from the univeristy, and to monitor the progress of the executive body. Sally is a triplet and has a cheeky and adoooooooorable black labrador called Milo. She is a sucker for romantic films and has seen “The Notebook” a gazillion times.

Treasurer - Jon Shen

As treasurer Jon organises the budget, manages ASOC’s funds, patronises Thomas as much as possible and fudges the numbers.

Top 4 most entertaining anime: Full Metal Panic, the Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi, Read or Die, the Daughter of Twenty Faces. 4 words to describe Jon: insane, soft, nocturnal, sleepy.

Secretary - Bob Liu

Bob’s role as secretary provides the administrative backbone of the society. He organizes the general volunteers, the officers and also ensures the smooth running of meetings and events. This exec gets constantly teased about his weight, being lazy and not working out enough. Fear not – he is actually very hard working in all aspects and surprises you (in a good way) when you least expect it. A “sensitive” guy, he can also be quite dangerous and unpredictable as well, having obtained 2 speeding tickets in 2 days! So if you’re Bob’s friend, you get the best of both worlds!

Marketing - Jason Yu

Jason as the marketing coordinator leads a team of eager event promoters and advertisers from all year levels. He is responsible for promoting all of ASOC’s events and increasing ASOC’s presence in the community. Being the tallest of the pack, this guy can eat without end and not gain any weight at all! Despite his laziness at studying and inabiliy to get up early, he puts 100% into everything he does. He’s passionate about basketball (and also about making fun of everyone shorter than him) and is known for his inappropriate jokes!

Social - Joyce Mac

As social coordinator, Joyce is responsible for organizing and overseeing all of our social events. Her objective is to make sure that our events provide an environment that encourages students to meet others and to have fun. Joyce is the “manliest” exec - you can recognize her by her bulging biceps, burly voice, and the terrified crowd that always seems to be running from her. She loves cooking, and if Actuarial Studies isn’t made out for her, she’ll open her own restaurant. She rages at everything she cannot do, & despite being a tennis player, this includes WII tennis. Otherwise, she’s generally a sweet person, and is known for her explosive “OMG MAN!!!!!”

Sport - Kevin Pun

As sports coordinator, Kevin organizes all of our sporting events, such as the soccer and basketball competitions. He liaises with various other societies to ensure our sporting events run smoothly. A morally upstanding individual, well-known for his decisiveness and swiftness to act, maturity beyond his age with an ability to concentrate for days on end. The aforementioned is an individual that is exactly what Kevin is not, BUT his approachable nature pretty much makes up for his plethora of faults.

Peer Support - Thomas Wong

As the peer support coordinator, Thomas has the task of organizing peer mentoring, PASS classes for all the year levels, VBA sessions as well as managing the tutors for the classes and writing support material. Self-proclaimed King of Foosball (the table football game with the handles and the rods), Thomas is a passionate supporter of Man Utd and the Socceroos. Thomas is also well-renowned to be a big fan of movies, singing and Freddo. His favourite fast food is KFC, followed closely by Hungry Jacks.

Publications - Andrew Teh

Andrew as publications coordinator is responsible for the FAB newsletter, advertisements and other printed material. He overlooks a dedicated team of graphics designers and editorial officers to complete the various tasks. He loves to game endlessly in the wee hours of the early morn. Do not underestimate this skinny boy, he loves his 100 bowls of cereal for breakfast and eats like there’s no tomorrow – yes girls, he does have abs! Reliably late to everything (and constantly abused for it), Andrew is generally a reliable and friendly person (except perhaps when you interrupt him while gaming). He also absolutely despises coriander.

IT - Ania Kopyciok

As IT Coordinator, Ania is responsible for making ASOC’s fundamental information portal more fun, informative and relevant to Actuarial students. She looks after the IT infrastructure of the society, coding, designing and maintaining the website, as well as administrating the communication between ASOC and its members. Ania is studying Actuarial and Computer Science, her favourite colour is green, and her hobbies include: dancing, pwning noobs, hacking computers, being really clumsy, and creating world destroying singularities with her large hadron collider.
