Miyuki Sandoval, Vice President
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
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!

Executive Staff
Hiro Hirano-Holcomb, Director of Legislative Affairs
Hello everyone! My name is Hiro, my pronouns are they/them, 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 DirectorofLegislativeAffairs 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!

Frequently Asked Questions
How is ASUWB funded?
ASUWB is funded in whole by the Services & Activities Fee (SAF) that each student pays as part of their tuition.
Who is in charge of ASUWB?
ASUWB is accountable to itself as outlined in the constitution and the bylaws, as well as to university-wide policy, state laws, and federal laws. That’s why it’s important for students to offer input and feedback! However, ASUWB is advised by Student Engagement and Activities (SEA).
