President- Allison Bartels | ambartels@email.wm.edu

Allison Bartels

Hi y’all! I’m Allison, a junior from Colleyville, Texas and I’m majoring in Government and Latin American Studies. I am SO thrilled to be serving my peers as the President of HOPE. I’ve been a member of the Substance Abuse branch since my freshman year, and was fortunate enough to serve as VP of the branch for two semesters. When I’m not in the Fishbowl, you can usually find me with me at Zable Stadium, running with the greatest cross country and track team in the entire world. I love dogs, running, substance abuse prevention, and baking cupcakes. If you have any HOPE questions, suggestions, or just want to say hi, please don’t hesitate to contact me: ambartels@email.wm.edu
