President - Nina MaWith her fantastic cooking and shopping skills and a caring soul, it’s not hard to see why Nina is the Ma of ASOC. It might be hard to spot her permanent eye-smile at ASOC events; not because she’s a little short, but because she’s tirelessly working behind the scenes as our ASOC President. While she doesn’t look like she’s been in ASOC for three (and counting!) years, her experience makes her a superb fit for the job. If you’re looking for a chat or just good life advice, don’t be shy boys and girls. Contact via email at nina.ma@asoc.unsw.edu.au.

Vice President Internal - Charlie HanCharlie never goes out of style as he shakes off his 2014 Treasurer role and fills the blank space on this year's exec team as Vice President Internal for 2015. Also known as the 'fella over there with the hella good hair' he'll 'leave you breathless' saying 'oh my god, look at that face' any time of the day. Jokes aside, his love for T-Swizzle, Chelsea FC, Federer backhands and morning OJ all come (tied) second only to his love for ASOC. He is truly passionate about the society and its students, with years of involvement and hours of dedication under his (shiny Puma) belt. Did I mention he's an all-round genius too? Haters gonna hate, but his swag game is definitely on point. 10/10 would recommend to any student in need of help. Contact via email at charlie.han@asoc.unsw.edu.au.

Treasurer - Josephine HuJosephine is a true role model and goddess; if you ever need help with anything, this girl comes bearing wisdom in a flash. In her spare time she would be preparing 5 star meals, benching with Oliver Queen or scheming how to get away with murder whilst singing and strumming on her ukulele in preparation for the next High School Musical. She is a queen of many talents. Josey may not always be the one you'd trust during a game of Mafia (then again, who can you trust), however as ASOC's 2015 Treasurer you can be assured that the money is safe in her hands. So whenever you get the chance, come and talk to one of the friendliest, most fun loving people ASOC has ever seen. Contact via email at josephine.hu@asoc.unsw.edu.au.

In all seriousness, KK’s passion and dedication for ASOC is as big as his love for k-dramas.

President - Edwin Zhang
Known as the pimp of ASOC, the incredibly sexy Edwin commands the absolute attention of all females, sometimes males too, in a 10km radius. However, what makes Edwin truly stand out as the President of ASOC is not his mastery of the ladies, but his dedication to the ASOC community. He has earned the community’s respect, including mine, as a friend, mentor and leader that is both fun to be around but also reliable and serious when the duty calls. As our President, I have no doubt he will continue to strive to improve our society for the better. Contact via email at edwin.zhang@asoc.unsw.edu.au

Vice President External - Zhiying Feng
My first memory of Zhiying was when he made a short speech at my first (and about the only one that I went to) MATH1151 lecture. Here was this short, slightly chubby guy talking about sports committee and other ASOC events, and my initial impression of him was 'one of those boring ASOC guys'. Having joined the ASOC sports committee however, I have realised that Zhi is not only intelligent, even by actuarial standards, but also very organised and is a great leader, an amazing friend and mentor.To me, he will always be the person that guided me through my first year and a role model for the rest of my life. Contact via email at vp.external@asoc.unsw.edu.au

As a typical UNSW actuarial student, Charlie loves to play tetris and model stock prices using Brownian motion in his spare time. Although he leads a double life as Carlos Garcia, an internationality renowned chilli eating champion from Mexico, Charlie is down to earth and easy to work with, which makes him a perfect fit for our ASOC team. Be on the lookout for his new and exciting fundraising initiatives. Contact via email at charlie.han@asoc.unsw.edu.au

Watch out for ASOC’s major social events such as the Annual ASOC Camp and Annual JASS Ball, as she will be responsible for the supervision of the teams responsible for the coordination and organisation of these events!
