President
Jen Martynowicz

Salut! Bienvenue au Notre Dame Ballroom! Nous adorons danser! Jen Martynowicz is a junior chemistry and French double major from the suburbs of Chicago. She loves dancing, music, things that grow, and getting trapped in research labs for hours at a time. After being the vice president and the secretary last year, Jen is super excited to be president of Ballroom Club this year and can't wait to get started

Co-Vice President
Joshua Gaston

Joshua Gaston is a professed lunatic Canadian hockey player, taking extreme pleasure in slamming people into the boards. Though at home on the ice, he does not shield away from heat either, slaying dragons in his free time (You're welcome). Recruited by the Navy Seals for his actions, he will be dropping off the radar after he graduates and will no doubt be part of the excursions into China. He brings his hardcore dedication to these tasks to ballroom, and his feet are dainty from his endless fighting and activities.

Co-Vice President: Fall 2012
Sean Fitzgerald

He is a Sophomore Accounting and Economics major and born in America's Finest City, San Diego. Rumor has it he lacks a soul. Others say he uses SPF 100+ for soap. But some things are known for certain, he knows his style and loves his hair.

Co-Vice President: Spring 2013
Dillon Hanson

Dillon Hanson is a Chemical Engineering and Mathematics double major (No, he does not make good decisions when it comes to retaining his own sanity.) Originally from a bit north of Dallas, TX, Dillon enjoys acting, singing, and possibly some Texas two-step every now and then. Although new to ballroom dancing, Dillon is just as enthusiastic as the rest of the officers, and is looking forward to an amazing year!

Treasurer
Alex Calderon

Alex is a biology major hailing from Stockton, California. He tries to incorporate contrast in his life by taking pleasure in both bruising faces in Bengal Bouts as well as swinging across the dance floor in Ballroom. While his experience lies mainly in east coast swing, he looks forward to learning the plethora of dances that Ballroom has to offer.

Secretary
Megan Hsu

Meg is a pint sized PLS, Chinese, and med school hopeful who endured nearly 21 years of life without experiencing the joy of dancing properly. (Most creatures equipped with functional optical sensory organs would argue that she still doesn't quite get it, but that will not deter her from hopping about with gusto whenever music is playing.) She dreams of someday aspiring to a Viennese Waltz, and can't wait to see what is in store for ND Ballroom this year!

Dancing is Emily's passion, and she served as Co-President of the Notre Dame Ballroom Club in 2011-2012 and as Vice President in 2010-2011. Emily is completely obsessed with sports as well as anything that sparkles, and she is looking forward to another amazing year with Notre Dame Ballroom!
