Meet the Executive Council
2025- 2026
Mya Tsai
President
4th year Wood Products Processing student
One aspect I truly appreciate about being in forestry is the highly engaged community and the diverse range of individuals, each bringing unique talents and perspectives to the field. An interesting thing about me is that I own a horse named Monclère who lives about 10 mins away from campus. I’m especially excited to lead the executive team this year and to help plan meaningful initiatives and events that will benefit all students.
Sarah Mackay
VP Internal
My name is Sarah Mackay and I’m in my third year of the bachelors of science in natural resources conservation program! I love forestry because of our tight knit community and all of the opportunities the programs have to offer. A little fun fact about myself is that I’m the third generation in my family to get an undergraduate degree in forestry! As VP Internal this year I’m looking forward to keeping our much needed pantry stocked, and give the FUS lounge some updates!!
Emma Zhong
VP Administration
I am currently in my third year of studying Forest Operations. One of my favorite things about Forestry is the amazing community and the opportunity to learn outdoors. An interesting fact about me is that my family and I have rescued two dogs and a cat. As Vice President of Administration, I am excited to keep things organized and provide support for our events.
Grace Nesmith
VP Media
Hi! I am a 4th year studying Natural Resource Conservation. I am constantly inspired by the diverse passions in Forestry, and love listening to and sharing my own niche interests with other curious people. I am interested in fire ecology, so if anyone would like to talk about fire, feel free to reach out to me! As VP of Media, I am stoked to make FUS events accessible and engaging!
Alex Zheng
VP Finance
Hi I’m, a third year in Bio-economy Science Technology. It’s a huge pleasure to be in this faculty as the community and faculty support is amazing. I’m a huge fan of attempting new things, type 3 fun is great. Going into the new school year I’m excited for potential new fire merch and more cross faculty activities.
Yohani Weheragama
VP Academic
Hi! I’m in my 2nd year in Conservation. It has been a joy to become a part of the wonderful community in the Faculty of Forestry and meet so many like-minded, nature-loving people. In my spare time, I can be found taking plant photos or rewatching my favourite shows. Fun fact, I once took over 3000 screenshots of Avatar just because I liked the characters! This upcoming year, I look forward to building more academic supports for our students.
Dylan Evans
Student Senator
I’m Dylan, a 4th-year Natural Resources Conservation student. As the current Forestry Senator, I plan to get more wins for Forestry students. As a past FUS President, I know how to get wins for Forestry students and hope to help the current team as much as possible so that this year is the biggest year yet.
Renee Zhao
Hi! I’m a first-year student in Bioeconomy Sciences and Technology. My passions include renewable energy and watching movies, so if you’re interested in learning about fungi-powered batteries or discussing Dead Poets Society, please feel free to reach out! As First Year President, my goal is to make Forestry feel like home by planning an unforgettable year full of adventure, connection, community, laughter, and growth.
