Meet the team
Theo (he/him)
My name is Theo, and I’m one of the Pride Programmers with the Student Experience Office (SEO) this year. Throughout my time at UBCO, I have worked with the Equity & Inclusion Office, the Sexual Violence Prevention & Response Office, and now the SEO to increase access to inclusive spaces, resources, and learning opportunities. Being a young trans person, I deeply understand the importance of community and wellness. If you see me around campus, don’t hesitate to say hello!
Noah (he/him)
My name is Noah, and I’m a Pride Programmer with the Student Experience Office. I am currently in the fourth year of my Creative Writing and Art History degree. I love writing poetry and watching medical dramas when I’m not at school or work. I’ve also worked at the UBC Okanagan Gallery as a gallery assistant, which allowed me to connect more with my Indigenous identity through art. I am a huge advocate for zine-making and subverting artistic spaces.
