Wesley Wong (he/him/his) President
My role is to guide the programming and direction of ASP. I am interested in housing policy, civic engagement, and community organization because of their connection to social justice and advocacy. I’m in this field because I wanted a career that can make systemic change. Outside of ASP, I like to volunteer in the local San Luis Obispo and San Francisco community(Pre-Covid-19).
Jun Hyun Kim (he/him/his) Vice President
As the Vice President, I help the president run the club. I look at fun, organize events we can bring into the club as well as organize potential professional mixers. To me, urban design is an interesting concentration as it focuses on human interaction to the built environment. Outside of the club, I am usually outside walking my dog or learning how to scratch on my DJ deck.
David Choy (he/him/his) Treasurer
Howdy, everyone! I am a 4th year in CRP with a minor in Law & Society. I am very passionate about transportation and how we move people and goods. I am very interested in budgeting and public policy, particularly in how we move from the planning stage into the action stage of transforming cities. I manage the clubs accounts, allocate funding, and assist the board in planning and executing events and services for all members. Outside of ASP, I enjoy gaming, disc golf, reading, beginner writing, hikes, listing to Supreme Court cases, and cooking!
Giselle Beld (she/her/hers) Secretary
Hey, I’m Giselle and I am this year’s secretary! As the secretary of ASP I send email updates to inform City and Regional Planning students about club events and planning opportunities. I also assist the board with club programming. Outside of ASP, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, hiking, and baking. I’m excited to create professional opportunities for students in planning.
Christabel Soria Mendoza (she/her/hers) Diversity and Inclusion Chair
My name is Christabel, and I am a fourth year majoring in CRP with a minor in Ethnic Studies. As this year’s D&I chair, I want to provide the resources and knowledge for our CRP family in order to thrive and support one another in our future career fields. In the community, I am an activist through my involvement with the Cross Cultural Centers and my multicultural sorority. I love working out, listening to music and being productive. Fun fact: I love to travel, and I have been interning at Caltrans for two years!
Amy Uthenpong (she/her/hers) Public Relations Coordinator
I’m Amy, and I am a second year City and Regional Planning major. As Public Relations Coordinator, I manage ASP’s social media accounts, including Instagram, Linkedin, and this website! So far, I really enjoy learning about city placemaking and spatial equity, especially in a intersectional lens. A few of my hobbies outside of ASP include watching documentaries, rollerskating, and sewing!
Chloe Partain (she/her/hers) Student and Faculty Rep
My name is Chloe Partain, and I am the Student and Faculty Representative for this year’s board! My role is to communicate with my graduating class about meetings and other club events. What interests me most about City and Regional Planning is the ability to design communities that improve the lives of their citizens. Outside of ASP, my hobbies include golf, line dancing, woodworking. Fun Fact: I’m from Brentwood, CA.
Samuel Fluhmann (he/him/his) CAED Rep
My name is Samuel Fluhmann and I will be representing ASP as your College of Architecture and Environmental Design (CAED) Representative. My favorite City and Regional Planning concentration is transportation planning, with aviation and environmental planning too. Outside of ASP, I enjoy watching movies, hanging with friends, and doing aviation related activities.
