WHO WE ARE
Zach and Parth aren't the ordinary pair of individuals you would expect running for the Student Body President and Vice President. Their past leadership positions and roles making impactful decisions allow them to surmise that they can lead with the student body with integrity. MSA needs change. Zach and Parth believe that they have what it takes to bring the transformation to the University of Minnesota and deliver students their rightful voices.
In the meantime, take some time to get to know them a little better!

I am a sophomore within the Carlson School of Management pursuing a major in Management Information Systems and a minor in Business Law. I am a natural leader, proven as my day-to-day deliverance reflects my drive to problems at the focus. I am a born and raised Minnesotan with a passion for all things Minnesota sports. With experience on the Phillips for Congress Campaign, the University’s Senate Committee of Information Technologies, and as Head of the Business Board Policy & Curriculum Committee, I am more than ready to embrace this new challenge. Row the boat, Ski-U-Mah, and Go Gophers!

I am a current sophomore studying Finance and Accounting at the Carlson School of Management. My family and I migrated to the United States when I was seven years old. As a first-generation immigrant, my parents instilled me with cultural values of determination and grit. That is something I carry with me to this date. Growing up in Northern Minnesota and graduating from Hermantown High School, I value the importance of diversity and its effect on the student body. Currently, I am involved in the Business Board's Mental Health and Wellness Committee, the Carlson Ambassador group, and Delta Sigma Pi. In my free time, I enjoy spending time on the lake with friends, reading a good book, or attending any Gopher-related sporting events. Ski-U-Mah!
