Hi! My name is Haramol Chahal, and I’m heading into my fifth year of Secondary Education. I’m majoring in Biological Sciences and minoring in Health Education—both areas I’m deeply passionate about!
Outside of my academic life, I’m a big movie lover. I enjoy going to the theatre with friends, analyzing everything from cinematography to story arcs, and then posting my thoughts on Letterboxd (it's basically my digital film diary). Music is another huge part of my life—whether I’m listening to new albums, attending concerts, or just jamming out at home, anything music-adjacent instantly grabs my attention. I’m always up for a good playlist swap or chatting about the latest releases!
I also love exploring local coffee shops and treating myself to pastries. There’s something so comforting about finding a cozy corner, sipping a good latte, and sampling whatever baked good catches my eye!
Hope to see you around campus!
I’m passionate about building community, supporting fellow education students, and helping create meaningful experiences both inside and outside the classroom!
I am also a sports person! I enjoy soccer, basketball, tennis, and many other sports. Travelling and going out with friends is another part I enjoy!
Now that you know a little about me, if you're looking for academic support, fun events, or just someone to chat with, I'm here! Feel free to reach out to me whenever, and come by and say hi to our wonderful council!

Hey! My name is Antony Salib, and I am a Combined Science and Education student at the University of Alberta!
I have a passion for student leadership, educational advocacy, and community service.
By being elected in leadership roles within the Education Students' Association (VP Finance 26/27, President 25/26, VP Internal 24/25, and Volunteer Commissioner 23/24) and the Students' Union (Education Counsellor 24/25 and 25/26), I have represented and continue to represent students’ interests, contributed to academic governance, and led initiatives that promote engagement and inclusion.
With experience working in educational, recreational, and community settings, I am committed to creating a positive community, learning environments and supporting fellow students.
Outside of school and leadership, I enjoy spending time with family and friends and travelling, whether it's travelling in Canada or outside!
I also really enjoy sports, namely soccer, aka football :), basketball, and tennis.
Now that you know a little about me and about my time at the University of Alberta, if you're looking to chat about academic support, fun events, or anything else, I'm here!
Feel free to reach out to me whenever, and come by and say hi to the rest of our wonderful council!

My name is Alisha and I am pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in Secondary Education at the University of Alberta, specializing in Mathematics, Sciences, and English. In addition to my studies, I actively support students as an academic advisor through student councils and tutoring. Also, I bring practical experience as an Educational Consultant. I am delighted to serve as Vice-President Academic of the Education Students’ Association (ESA), by planning Professional Development (PD) Days through the Alberta Teachers’ Association (ATA). I aspire to support students, both academically and professionally, as they navigate their career journeys.

Commissioner Team
Technology Commissioner

Hi! My name’s Aimen and I’ll be ESA’s go-to tech person this year. I manage our beautiful website and handle our in-office technologies!
If I’m not in the ESA office, you’ll probably find me at Tech in Ed, just a floor down :)
Tech wasn’t something I’d ever imagine myself getting involved in— I’m an English Major within my secondary B.Ed degree. Opening myself up to new opportunities allowed me to explore how these tools intersect with humanities, and how important it is to have educators in tech spaces, solving problems with their unique perspectives and human-forward approaches!
Outside of geeking out about this stuff, you can find me at Square 1 Coffee or Hula Poke. My wallet is done for. Someone stop me.
Hope to see you all around!! Have an awesome year :)
