John Mark Grant
President
Hi! I’m John Mark Grant (yes, I am aware those are three first names), and I’m this year’s President. I’m a senior majoring in Finance with a Certificate in Computer Science and minors in MIS and French Studies. Outside of Council, I enjoy music performance, namely piano and marimba, trying out Austin restaurants, and spending time with my friends. Ask me about my career as an aspiring DJ!

Nti Ababio
External Relations Director
Hey! My name is Nti, and I am this year‘s External Relations Director. I am a proud native of Cypress, Texas (commonly referred to as “fake Houston”), and when I’m not doing Council-related things, you can find me fangirling over The Strokes, perfecting my chocolate chip cookie recipe, and taking hot yoga classes!

Chengxi Gang
Financial Director
Hiya! I’m Chengxi, UBC’s Financial Director. Council has been my home since freshman year (fun fact - I spend nearly as much time in the frito as I do in my apartment), and it’s truly an incredible place to be. Some might call me a finance hardo (I’m not), but my role is to oversee the funding and finances that support UBC. Ask me about my main personality trait - my love for LEGO!

Arianna Zhao
Careers Director
Hi, I’m Arianna! I’m a junior studying Finance and Math, and currently am obsessed with UK drill music, gel nails, and browsing Ticketmaster. As Careers Director, I oversee UBC’s external events as well as internal professional development. When I’m not UBC-ing, you’ll find me Metrobiking downtown, rewatching Ted Lasso, or sketching faces using charcoal.

Brennan Hart
Academic Director
Hey! I'm Brennan. As this year's Academic Director, my mission is to promote student-faculty engagement within McCombs. Outside of council, you can find me wandering the aisles of Costco, making ludicrous substitutions while baking, or rooting for baseball's most loved team-- the Astros. Talk to me about the best Texas BBQ or your go-to MarioKart character.

Krithika Elango
Communications Director
Hi, I’m Krithika, and I’m UBC’s communications director, which is perfect because I talk a lot :) As communications director, I handle marketing and photography for our events. I love to read murder romance novels, drink an excessive amount of coffee, and go on hot girl walks. Ask me to finish the lyric for any 2010s pop hit!
