Michelle Nguyen | Fundraising Chair
Michelle is a sophomore at UW majoring in not Computer Science or Business. When she isn't doing mock trial, she's probably looking at memes on Reddit and sending them to her friends. Michelle enjoys defending her unpopular opinions including that tea is better than coffee, pickles shouldn't exist, and that mock trial is definitely a sport (because it is).
