I am a second-year student at Green River College, originally from Surabaya, Indonesia! I am studying business and economics and plan to transfer to a four-year university. In addition to serving as ASGRC President, I am the President of Women in Business and the Economics Editor and Reporter for The Current, Green River’s student newspaper. 

I became involved in student leadership because I wanted to give back to the community that has given me so many opportunities and help create those same opportunities for other students. As President, I hope to turn student voices into meaningful action and ensure students feel represented in the decisions that shape their experience at Green River. 

Outside of school, I enjoy reading, especially Joan Didion and, currently, Proust’s masterpiece, Swann’s Way! 

Erica will be entering her 2nd year at GRC. She was born and raised in Auburn, WA. She is currently finishing a Science Track 1 transfer degree to pursue neuroscience at a 4-year institution. Her end-goal is to become a neuroscience professor running her own research laboratory, specifically researching the bridge between mental health and neural circuits. 

What inspired Erica to get involved on campus is her desire to become a reliable leader for students at GRC, as well as begin initiatives to connect different populations of GRC students to student life. A fun fact about Erica is that she is a student athletic trainer at Auburn High School (she’s a running start student). 

Hi, my name is Lorelei Bonham, and I am a second-year student at Green River College from Buckley, Washington. I am studying Journalism and Political Science, with plans to transfer to a four-year university and pursue a career in political journalism. 

My involvement in student leadership began when I noticed that students at Green River lacked an outlet to share their perspectives, passions, concerns, and experiences. Wanting to help create that space, I helped launch The Current, Green River College’s student newspaper.  

As I continue my education, I hope to combine my interests in journalism and political science to help make complex political issues accessible and meaningful to others. I am passionate about creating opportunities for students to have their voices heard and contributing to a stronger, more connected campus community. 

Nuzhat is a second-year international student at Green River College, majoring in Physics and preparing to transfer to a four-year university. Originally from Dhaka, Bangladesh, she spent the last couple of years scaling her Series A science startup, which works to close the STEM gender gap for girls and women in rural, underserved South Asian communities through hands-on learning, local outreach, and sustainable educational tools. 

Driven by the belief that science can transform lives, Nuzhat brings that same passion to campus as the Advocacy Coordinator for student government. Stepping into campus leadership, Nuzhat became the first student ever to be appointed to Green River College’s Board of Trustees. She bridges the gap between students and executive leadership, bringing real student experiences straight to the highest decision-making table.

I am a second-year student at Green River this year, working towards a Science Track 1 associates to follow my goal of obtaining a Bachelors BS degree in Biochemistry. With this degree, I am then wanting to pursue medical school to start a career as a MD Physician. I was born in Oregon but moved to Maple Valley, Washinton State when I was incredibly young.  

Since I've begun attending Green River, I have been fascinated by the idea of being involved on campus in a higher capacity. This began with me joining clubs that aligned with my interests and eventually pursuing leadership roles within them. After witnessing how these clubs interact with students on campus and the importance they bring to students' academic goals and their sense of community belonging, I became intrigued in finding more ways to help serve students and their needs on campus. That is why I joined the ASGRC, so that I could play a greater role in helping students achieve their goals and serve as a voice for all students within our institution.  

Some fun facts about me are that I love animals and have numerous pets. I have volunteer experience working in an emergency room at a hospital and at a marine animal rescue facility. My favorite hobbies include video games, watching YouTube, and running.
