Tanya Rafiq
Tanya is currently a 4th year student in the Health Sciences Program. She for one, cannot wait to graduate with that large piece of paper, one funny looking hat, and an over-sized black gown representing 4 years worth of sleepless nights, wrecking her brain on last minute assignments, ingesting tons of Monster and red bull cans and partying like a baus. In the future, she sees herself having high aspirations and working for a global health development program with an NGO- 4 years and an undergraduate degree later, figuring out a way to get there is STILL a problem! In the mean time, she works as a photographer for UWO publications. So, If you see your face on the cover of the student guide, it was her! Also, you may occasionally spot her dancing on the stage (not necessarily by herself)- Bollywood is in her blood!

Rida Ahmed
Rida is a fourth year student at the University of Western Ontario and recently changed her major from Finance to English Literature, one of the best decisions she’s ever made! She is the Campus Correspondent for Her Campus Western Ontario, a project she is deeply passionate about. Having spent her whole life in the Middle East (Dubai and Saudi Arabia) Rida had no choice but to grow up a shopaholic! She loves to read, watches way to many TV shows and is famous for her magazine collection. Rida’s dream is to one day live in Paris and be a writer for Vogue.

Martisha Mayombi
Martisha is a 3rd year Psychology student at Kings. She hopes on continuing to study to get her masters, and maybe even a doctoral. Martisha is still unsure about her future career goals and plans on going with the flow and seeing where her degree takes her. She’s a local bar star- partying four nights a week- a horror movie guru and loves shopping; she would go to the mall everyday if she could! She’s a huge advocate for equal rights everywhere. Martisha is fully prepared for battle in the event we suffer on apocalypse or get attacked by zombies! 

Rida is a fourth year student at the University of Western Ontario and is extremely excited about the opportunity to bring Her Campus to London! She recently changed her major from Finance to English Literature after finally realizing what she wanted to do with her life. Having spent her whole life in the Middle East (Dubai and Saudi Arabia) Rida had no choice but to grow up a shopaholic! Having shifted from the desert to the great ice box that is Canada, she still finds it difficult to adjust to the freezing weather. In her spare time, Rida likes reading, watching way too many shows, stuffed crust pizza and,of course, shopping! Her aspirations are to one day live in Paris and be a writer for Vogue.
