Housemembers

  • Noah

    Hi! My name is Noah, and I'm a dual MD-MPH student graduating in 2027 and I'm planning to become a neurologist. This is my fourth year in the house, and in my free time I love to play/watch basketball and ping pong!

  • Riley

    Hi, I’m Riley! I’ve been at MBTA since Fall 2023, and serve as the finance officer as well as greenhouse committee chair. I’m an undergraduate student double majoring in Mathematics and Afroamerican and African Studies. Currently my research is focused around the Fine Arc Graph and related graphs, and my Thesis work which is a history of Black mathematicians in America, looking for connections to African Epistemologies. I have a rabbit named Pebble, and I am a long-time fiber artist. Also I’ve got a buzz cut now, but haven’t got any nice photos yet.

  • Zuzanna

    Hi, I'm Zuzanna! I'm in the MD-PhD Program at the Michigan Medical School, studying Philosophy. My philosophical research interests are in the realm of moral philosophy as it relates to the practice of medicine; questions about the ways we draw the boundaries of medical institutions and how we delineate physicians' obligations intrigue me the most. In my free time, I enjoy running, cycling, skiing, whimsy, being outside in nature, and hanging out with my fellow housemates!

  • AK

    Hey there, I am AK. I am an anthro nerd and filmmaker. I am BIG lover of using stories and experiences to think about the issues we often see in numbers. My schtick is: to know ourselves and the world better we have to expand whose perspectives and world views contribute to that story. I’m currently a third-year PhD student in Anthropology, with a focus on development, migration, displacement and something to do with film. My research has taken me to refugee settlements in Uganda, and African communities in India. When I’m not reading or writing, I’m either binge-watching Abbott Elementary or rewatching House of the Dragon with my awesome housemates.This year, I’m serving on the Recruitment Committee and the Project Development Committee.

  • Sarah

    Hello, I’m Sarah! I am majoring in history with a museum studies minor. This is my third year being at the Telluride House, and it has been so wonderful being a part of this community! I am currently serving as the Logistics Committee chair this semester. I love going to concerts, traveling, and good vibes! I’m always down for a fun time and trying new things. If anyone needs a concert buddy (preferably a Billie Eilish one), I’m almost always available. :)

  • Ally

    Hey, I’m Ally and I’m a fourth-year undergrad in Biomedical Engineering with a minor in Data Science! I’m super interested in the intersection between technology and biology. I love discovering new music (all genres and languages), so I always appreciate music recs! I am excited to be co-chairing the house again :)

  • Hassan

    My name is Hassan, and I am a graduate from MSI in Big Data Analytics at the School of Information. I currently serve as the Event Planning Chair at the House. My hobbies include traveling, running, swimming, and spending time with friends.

  • Schnadè Saintïl

    Hello! I'm Schnadè, an Acting student at UMich. I'm also an amateur linguist, always thinking about languages effects on us. For me, it's one important tool for engaging with art, in expressing and in understanding. My studies have brought me to live in India for a summer, France for half a year, and Morocco for a couple months as well. I want to build a life engrained in the arts all around the world.

  • Sarya

    Hey all! My name is Sarya. I studied Psychology in Lebanon and am now a first-year MSW student. Born and raised in Syria, I’ve traveled to over 15 countries to explore different religions, spiritual and emotional practices, and stay with locals to see life through their eyes. I’m passionate about empowering people through mind, body, emotions, and soul. I thrive most in communities where we work together toward shared goals. In my free time, I love swimming, meditating, exploring self-help, being in nature, and traveling.

  • Linh

    Hey everyone! I’m Linh, originally from Hanoi, Vietnam. I’m a senior majoring in Psych and Econ. I love yoga, pilates, and Vietnamese literature. I’ve recently been obsessed with learning crochet and daily meditation. I’m happiest around kids, my family, and anything that smells amazing--so if you’ve got a favorite candle or body mist, please drop your recommendations. I’ll probably end up trying it.

  • Saima

    Hi all, my name is Saima. I packed up 25 years of my life in India in two suitcases and came to the States two years ago. Telluride and Ann Arbor are home now!!! Living the life.... My brain fluctuates between a 5 year old and a 60 year old. I'm known to be mildly charming ;) Professionally, I am a researcher and work at the intersection of tech policy, community and environment. Outside of that, I like to read, walk and socialize....

  • Shara

    Hey! I’m Shara, a first year in UMich’s Comp Lit PhD program and in the house. I’m MBTA’s Sustainability Steward & 1/2 of its Finance Custodian team (along with Schnadè, the other house shhh). I’m a playwright and my research focuses on performed literatures experienced in community :). Beyond the above, I love marsupials and dogs, scented candles, good coffee, live music, and the verdancy of Ann Arbor.

  • Danny Cruz

    Hi! My name is Danny and I'm a third year PhD student in the Cellular and Molecular Biology at the medical school! My research is focused on red blood cell development and how these disruptions might lead to congenital anemias. In my free time, I love to try new foods, draw in my sketchbook (I own a concerning amount of markers), or read/watch fantasy and sci-fi. I also love a good sitcom (send me recs :)).
