Laeticia YangPresident | California State SecretaryHey pals! My name is Laeticia, I am going to be a senior this year, and I am beyond excited to be serving as your President. I can’t wait to meet all of you, so please don’t be shy and feel free to come up and talk to me so we can be best friends. I really enjoy listening to the same songs on repeat for hours, randomly dancing when I think no one is watching me, and laughing at stupid jokes. If you ever want to feel good about being funny, you can just tell me a joke and I will most likely laugh. “People say nothing is impossible but I do nothing everyday” - Winnie the Pooh

Valerie HuExecutive Vice PresidentHello! My name is Valerie Hu and I am a senior as well as your Executive Vice President. FBLA has been one crazy amazing journey for me and a huge part of my high school experience. Through it, I’ve created hilarious memories at conferences and events, learned more about business and myself than I ever thought I could, and most importantly, gained friends and mentors that feel like family. Outside of FBLA, I am a senior class officer and I enjoy drama and belting out Broadway musicals. You can also catch me running into things (most recently, a glass wall outside of Sweetgreen) and running into you (I hope!) if you decide to make FBLA part of your life as well. “Per aspera ad astra - it’s in Latin and also the state motto of Kansas, look it up ;)”

Kevin HamVice President of Technology OperationsHello! My name is Kevin Ham, I’m a senior, and I’ll be serving as your VP of Technology Operations this year! Here’s a little about myself: I currently reside at an altitude of 6ft 2in, I can tie my own bowtie, and I arguably spend too much time petting other people’s pets. I’m always down to talk about anything so if you see me around don’t hesitate to say hi. I can’t wait to meet all of you! “The enemy of good is perfect.”

Ritu ChannagiriVice President of Conferences | Bay Section Vice President of ActivitiesHello Humans of FBLA! My name is Ritu, this will be my 7th year in FBLA, and I’ll be serving as your VP of Conferences as well as your Bay Section Vice President of Activities – which means conferences are double the stress but double the fun! 🙂 My absolute favorite part of this organization is the tight knit bonds we form with officers and members! In my free time I love to skate, design jewelry, and, of course, study for my competition. If you have any questions (or want to turn in late forms grr) you can catch me in A207! Don’t hesitate to email me at vpconferences@hhsfbla! “Leave a little sparkle wherever you go! <3”
