Leadership Stengths: Learner, Activator, Arranger, Include, & Belief
Hi! My name is Xheni ( Jenny) Diko and I am serving as your ASUWB President! I began my college career here at the University of Washington Bothell as part of the first freshman class back in 2006 and have had an incredible experience ever since. Now in my senior year, I am majoring in the IAS program with a concentration in Global Studies and a minor in Human Rights. Looking back on the last three years, I have been able to take advantage of countless opportunities UW Bothell has provided me from serving as the Director of Student Advocacy last year to attending two Alternative Spring Break trips to competing with DEC in Anaheim, California.
I am really excited for this year! I believe the University of Washington Bothell has a dedicated and hard working student body and equally talented faculty, staff, and administration. I am honored to serve as your President on this campus and look forward to working with the entire UW Bothell community.

I am now in my third year studying biology here at the University of Washington Bothell, and I could not be happier! I grew up right here in Bothell, and am so thankful for the opportunity to get a University of Washington degree without leaving my hometown. I have developed such a pride in this institution I have come to call home. I am on campus morning, noon, and night doing everything from studying to working to just hanging out with friends.
I had an amazing year last year serving as the ASUWB Director of Business and Operations and am thrilled to be stepping into a new role as your 2009- 2010 Vice President. As Vice President, I am the liaison between students and the city of Bothell. I am working to provide you, the students with continuing opportunities such as our downtown Bothell discounts! Stop me on campus anytime to talk or drop by my office (UW1-011) to share any comments or concerns. I am here to serve you!

Hi! My name is Ali Bulzomi and this is my third year at the University of Washington Bothell. I absolutely love UW Bothell and am so excited to serve on ASUWB this year! I am the Director of Business and Operations so I'm the person who'll be managing the ASUWB budget, restocking our supply stations, , and working on anything else you (the student body) can think of!
Over the past two years UWB has presented me with countless opportunities helping me to become the person I want to be, an academically, physically, and socially active person. From co-captaining the Ultimate Frisbee team, to planning hit events like Open Mic Night for CEB, to organizing visits to Bothell High as a Dream Project Team Lead, and volunteering with an amazing group of other UWB students at the 2009 Alternative Spring Break, I have grown incredibly as an individual. I can't wait to get started on ASUWB so I can continue working for the community I love!
