Leadership
2022 - 2023
Trustee
Gil Barahman
Stony Brook '24
Undergraduate Education:
Macaulay Honors College at College of Staten Island CUNY
BS in Biochemistry and minor in Business
Fun Facts:
-
I was born in Israel and moved to Brooklyn, NY when I was seven years old
-
I played ice hockey throughout high school and still play when I can (Let's Go Rangers!!)
-
I love to travel and explore different cultures and cuisines, I was lucky enough to study abroad in Japan right before the pandemic
My main goals for the 2022-2023 year are to increase membership and engagement throughout our District and to serve as a resource in bridging the gap between National and Local ASDA Chapters. I'm also looking forward to our District conference(s) to connect our schools and network amongst our members. I'm excited for the coming year, and I know that our Cabinet is ready to hold some awesome events! If you ever have any questions about my role, how you can get more involved in National ASDA, or just want to chat, please do not hesitate to reach out to me! Thank you for this opportunity to serve the dental students of our District, it is truly an honor.
