Min Ju Lee

Hi, everyone! My name is Min Ju, and I am a sophomore majoring in Neuroscience and hoping to also major in Biology (if I can complete the major requirements until graduation that is). I am ethnically South Korean, but I have lived in Seoul and Singapore each about half of my life. I LOVE watching anime on Netflix, and am excited to see their collection of anime grow every year. I am in the taekwondo team with Melody- she’s also in ubuntu. I hope we can all get along!

Melody Gao

Hi! I’m Melody and I’m a sophomore on the premed track majoring in history! I’m from northern California near Sacramento. My hobbies include tennis, taekwondo, and pushing people past their limits at kbbq. Feel free to talk to me about anything Harry Potter related!

Derek Chen

Hello! My name is Derek Chen and I’m a sophomore studying Economics with a minor in Computer Science and a certificate in Decision Sciences. I’m specifically interested in behavioral economics, so if you’re into that, definitely hit me up!

I’m originally from Castle Pines, Colorado, a suburb just 30 minutes south of Denver, and am excited to be in Durham. Outside of class, I’m involved with the Duke Chronicle, Duke Impact Investing Group, and the Unconscious Consumer Psychology lab. When I’m not procrastinating, studying, or listening to J Cole and Travis Scott, I love playing/watching basketball, getting carried by Christian McCaffrey in fantasy football, eating at Asian fusion restaurants, and hiking!

Alisha Nayak

Hi, my name is Alisha and I am a computer science major from Palo Alto, California. I am fascinated by backend software design and I love movies, especially Wonder Woman!

José San Martin

Hello! My name is José and I am originally from Mexico but I live in North Carolina! I am a senior double majoring in Computer Science and Statistics. My interests lie in pretty much anything technology related, from videogames to cloud computing.

I joined Ubuntu my sophomore year, and I have been the treasurer for the past 2 years. Outside of Ubuntu, I am on the executive board for Duke Undergraduate Machine Learning, a student group that promotes machine learning on campus and holds the yearly Datathon and Machine Learning Day. I am also a TA for statistics courses (and have been for the past 3 years), so feel free to ask me anything about the Statistics major track.

Outside of school, I enjoy working out, keeping myself updated with politics, and talking about Rupaul’s Drag Race. I also enjoy playing all types of videogames. In my free time I like to keep myself up to date with the latest technologies, as well as learning new software (most recently I learned iOS development on my own).

After graduation I will be working at Amazon as a Software Engineer in Seattle, so feel free to ask me anything about recruiting and interviewing at tech companies. It’s definitely a tough process and luckily we don’t have to do it alone.

Owen Henry

Hey, my name is Owen, and I am studying Statistics with a minor in Computer Science (and maybe Environmental Science).

I am from Holly Springs, North Carolina, which is around 35-40 minutes south of campus, which comes in handy when moving in/out and going on breaks. At Duke, I am involved with Duke Sports Information, which works with stats for Duke Varsity sports (catch me at the scorer’s table of a basketball game), and the Duke Coaches Organization, in which I volunteer coach kids in Durham Parks & Rec. Some of my favorite things to do are to play & watch sports (basketball is my favorite), follow weather events like hurricanes and snow storms, and play Rocket League with my friends.

Trust The Process!

Anna He

Hi! I’m Anna H. (one of the four Annas in Ubuntu). So glad to meet you! I’m an extroverted introvert originally from Arizona, and I’m interested in exploring the human experience in the environment. You can find me dancing with Duke Chinese Dance, RAing on East Campus, volunteering at the Duke Farm, or people-watching in Bella Union. I’m always down to form new connections with people at Duke! Just ask me about Marvel movies or nature 

Dani Welton

Hey! I’m Dani, and I’m a sophomore from Florida! I’m majoring in Economics with a certificate in Documentary Studies. In my free time I like baking, photography, going to coffee shops, and watching Gilmore Girls and Friends! I hope you join Ubuntu 🙂

Anna Jiang

Hey y’all! I’m Anna, a sophomore from the California Bay Area studying economics & public policy. I LOVE the good place, cooking, law & order svu, boba, hiking & am interested in child policy! Feel free to beep me if you ever want to chat & definitely join the best group of people at Duke!!

Noah Michaud

Hey, I’m Noah! I’m a junior majoring in Art History, minoring in Environmental Science, and getting a certificate in Ethics. I’m from the suburbs of Orlando, Florida. I love to write, read, cook, and bake. I spend a lot of time studying, though I wouldn’t say I particularly like studying…anyways, if you wanna talk art, food, food art, endlessly quote random Vines, or just rant about what you love or what drives you wild, I love passionate people, and I love sharing my passions. Join Ubuntu!

Elena Waechter

Hey everyone! My name is Elena and I’m class of 2022 studying Civil and Environmental Engineering with a minor in EOS. I’m from Miami, FL and I’m an RA on East Campus, I’m on the E-team and I volunteer at the Duke Campus Farm. I’m excited to meet you all. Let me know if you have any questions!

Anna Lytchakov

Hi y’all, I’m Anna! I’m a sophomore from Illinois majoring in Spanish and Biology. When I’m not in class, I volunteer with Duke Hospital and I love watching all sorts of TV shows (although anything from HBO is definitely my top choice). Joining Ubuntu gave me the greatest group of people to live with and I wouldn’t trade them for the world! If you have any questions or just wanna chat, shoot me an email at ajl83@duke.edu!
