About Us

Adan Rodriguez, President (he/him/his, they/them/theirs)

I am a senior double-majoring in Mechanical Engineering and Business Administration (Supply Chain Management Option).  

I’m ecstatic to be serving as your student government President for the 2025-26 academic year and am proud to represent you! I want to increase your opportunities to be involved in ASUWB, such as with a new internship & volunteer program and transparent, accessible elections.  

Furthermore, I want to increase student awareness of and engagement with decision-making bodies. Locally, this includes the UW administration & committees and ASUWB and extends to the Washington State Legislature and U.S. Congress.  

We already have many ideas, but I want to hear from you! Come to my office hours, email, reach out on social media, or talk if you see me in person!  

I was President of TrickFire Robotics Club and the ASUWB Director of Finance last school year. In my free time, I enjoy playing a wide variety of games, including tabletop roleplaying games like Dungeons & Dragons. I’m also an avid reader of wikis and Wikipedia articles, be it about cheese or a work of media I heard the name of just a few minutes ago.

Miyuki Sandoval, Vice President (she/her/hers)

Hello everyone! I am a rising senior majoring in Business Administration, with an option in Supply Chain Management and a concentration in Finance. I’m excited to serve as Vice President for UWB this year! I’ve been involved in Student Government for over three years, most recently as Club Council Treasurer, and I also serve as a club officer for the Bothell Consulting Association and Women in Business.                                                                        

I’m passionate about creating systems that are transparent and open to feedback. My goal is to ensure student voices, especially those from underrepresented communities, are heard and acted upon. In this role, I look forward to launching initiatives and seeing them through to bring meaningful change to our close-knit UWB community.      

Outside of my campus work, I enjoy cooking, baking, traveling, and spending time with friends. Please feel free to reach out anytime – I am here to support and advocate for you!

Zoya Merakov, Director of Senate (she/her/hers)

Hello everyone! My name is Zoya Merakov, and I am a senior studying Law, Economics, and Public Policy, and minoring in Human Rights. I am very excited to serve as the Director of Senate this year! After serving as a senator for commuting students in 2024, I developed a passion for the Senate and for making all students feel connected. I aim to foster more senator engagement within the Senate, more senator opportunities, and to make sure that students are involved and aware of the Senate branch of government. Outside of school, I love to read, hang out with friends, and go out into nature. I am hopeful to make a lasting positive impact on the Senate and UWB as a whole!

Munder Abukhder, Director of Finance (he/him/his)

I am a junior majoring in Mechanical Engineering. I wanted to join ASUWB to have more “creative freedom” in student government compared to my previous position. This will allow me to shift from clerical work to various projects (along with my day-to-day responsibilities) that are based on self-initiative and could be more impactful. I want to make a real difference on this campus, not just maintain the status quo. 

Some of my job duties include forming and overseeing committees, including the ASUWB Finance Committee which votes on SAEF and creating the new U-PASS committee. I also hire for and sit on STF and SAF committees, as well as understanding their bylaws and function. In my day-to-day work I generally operate as ASUWB’s Chief Financial Officer and help to process/approve internal ASUWB purchases. 

My primary goals revolve around the STF and SAF committees. I want to make them a place where committee members feel like they can speak comfortably and openly without judgement. I want to raise awareness for SAEF and U-PASS to help students understand what benefits exist on compass. I would also like to help seek discounts for students at local and online businesses. 

Office Hours:
Monday 8:00am – 11:00am; Wednesday 8:00am – 12:00pm; Friday 2:00pm – 5:00pm | ILO (ARC-130)

Hiro Hirano-Holcomb, Director of Legislative Affairs (they/them/theirs)

Hello everyone! I am a senior majoring in Law, Economics, and Public Policy with a minor in Human Rights, and I am so excited to be ASUWB’s Director of Legislative Affairs this year! I first got involved in legislative advocacy my junior year of high school and primarily advocated for school curriculum that includes and celebrates LGBTQ+ people, BIPOC, and other marginalized communities. In my advocacy, I always try to center equity whether it be through expanded access to basic needs and financial aid or ensuring that all students feel safe and empowered in their pursuit of education, advocacy, and beyond. In my free time, I enjoy playing the guitar and singing, spending time with friends and family, and swimming. 

Please never hesitate to reach out and if you ever see me around campus, feel free to bring up any concerns you may have or just say hello! I hope to see you at ASUWB events and Huskies on the Hill where all huskies will be invited to come down to our state capitol to lobby on behalf of all UW students!

Shera Dalgamouni-Mahasneh, Legislative Liaison (she/her/hers)

 Hello everyone! I’m Shera, your legislative liaison for this year! I’m a cross-campus senior majoring in Law, Economics, and Public Policy here at UW Bothell and minoring in LSJ at UW Seattle! I am a Palestinian-Jordanian who wants to advocate for all people who feel underrepresented in any way. I feel particularly passionate about issues surrounding immigration, tuition/financial aid, sexual assault on or off campus, and making sure all students are aware of their opportunities. As a student who has faced numerous financial challenges in life, I want to help make it easier for others.

Please don’t feel anxious to come talk to me about any concerns or even connect with me on social media! As an introvert, I know it is hard to start a conversation, but I truly love to make genuine connections with others! I do spend a lot of time studying on the Ave and at Husky football games, and in my free time I love to read and explore the city, so if you ever need a friend or study buddy to lock in with, I’m here!

I’m looking forward to being ASUWB’s Marketing & Outreach Coordinator to help increase awareness of ASUWB’s initiatives and how students can become more civically engaged on and off campus.

I am a sophomore studying Applied Computing and Law, Economics & Public Policy. I am passionate about policymaking and law. I was seeking campus opportunities that would allow me to gain experience and exposure in these areas, and I found ASUWB to be an excellent fit to develop skills useful for my career and develop my leadership skills.  

I am the Parliamentarian for ASUWB, overseeing the enforcement of our bylaws and governance standards. I also chair the Elections Committee and the Parliamentarian Appointment Committee, ensuring transparency with the Open Public Meetings Act (OPMA).
