Hello! For those of you that don't know me, my name is Viviana (she/her).  I missed the TDSA so much that I had to come back as an alumni.

I am so excited to be back on campus to create a more engaged community on campus with the help of your student union.

​Ahmed Sabah
Chief Electoral Officer 

​I am Ahmed Sabah, and I’m enrolled in AI & Financial Analytics PGC at Trent University Durham. I’m excited to serve as the Chief Electoral Officer of the Trent Durham Student Association for this term.

I had my bachelors of science at the American University in Cairo in mechanical engineering and a minor in business administration. I have also been involved in student activities, event organization, university governance, and student elections. These experiences have helped me develop a strong interest in leadership, teamwork, and creating opportunities for students to get involved in their campus community.
As Chief Electoral Officer, my goal is to make TDSA elections fair, transparent, accessible, and easy for students to understand. I also hope to encourage more students to participate, whether by running for a position, learning about the candidates, or casting their vote.

I’m always happy to connect with fellow students, answer election-related questions, and help make sure every student feels that their voice matters. I look forward to working with the TDSA team and the wider Trent Durham community throughout the term!

Kamshayaa Thayananthakumar
​Events Coordinator 

​Hi! My name is Kamshayaa and I'm a second year Business Administration student specializing in Accounting. I first got involved with TDSA in my first year as a Board of Director, which gave me the opportunity to connect with students, learn more about the organization, and become more involved in our campus. I'm excited to continue that involvement in my second year as the Events Coordinator, where I hope to work with our VPCL and create fun and meaningful experiences for you! If you have any ideas, suggestions, or events you would love to see on campus, feel free to reach out to me and we will do our best to make it work!!
