Naomi Butt (President)

Hello, my name is Naomi Butt, and I am the president of Psych society this year! I’m super excited about the opportunity to be a part of the society again, and I am eager to work with all members of the psych department to plan fun activities and be an advocate for mental health resources. I am from a small town in Labrador and I’m completing my BA with a major in Psychology and a minor in English. One of my favorite things about psychology is learning about people and factors that contribute to why they are the way they are. My hobbies are hiking, playing sports, cooking, and reading. The society is an excellent way to get involved on campus, meet people with similar interests and help to support some great causes! Please reach out if you have any questions.

Soumya Jain (Vice-President)

Hey folks, My name is Soumya Jain and I am a fourth year majoring in Psychology (Honours) with a minor in Social/Cultural Studies. I am the Vice-President Executive of the Psych Society! This is my first semester with this society and I'm looking forward to making the most out of this semester! I have several interests and hobbies! Some of them are playing my uke, talking (mostly listening) and getting to know my peers and other students on campus, volunteering for events and organizations, and listening to podcasts and audiobooks. The core reason for me choosing Psychology as a field of study over everything else was to understand myself better and be accepting of life as it is. In future, I can see myself working in a university setting as a Counselor/Psychotherapist. But I'm also open to other opportunities that I might find along the way! My biggest suggestion for any university student would be to get involved in activities as much as possible. Psych Society is like a treasure for those aspiring to work in this field or any other related field in the future. Make the most out of your semester! If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions, or need someone to talk to, reach out to me. I would love to help you out!      

Brandon Campbell (Secretary)

Hey! My name is Brandon Campbell. I was born and raised in Newfoundland and grew up in Deer Lake. I currently am the secretary for the 2022-2023 executive committee. I am in my fourth year of B.A with a major in Psychology and a minor in Sociology. Bittersweetly, this is my first time on the committee and likely my last! However, I still spend much of my time in the Den Room between classes. So, I am super excited for everything to kick off! Whenever I am not on Campus, I spend time with my friends! I have a great group of friends that I play trivia with on the weekends. I also like to watch movies and have re-established a love for reading books! Lastly, I am happy I chose to major in Psychology due to the versatility and transferable skills I’ve learned. If you have any questions regarding our society! I am happy to assist!

Last year I participated in the society by going to the weekly meetings, and this year I’m so happy to be a part of the exec team! Some of my hobbies include all things plant related, as well and beauty and fashion.
