About the President

President
Hi everyone! My name is Gurleen Bulara, and I'm your President for the 2026-2027 year. I’m currently in my 5th year of Biology, and I’ve been doing Taekwondo for about 9 years. I’ve been part of the Taekwondo club since my 1st year! This club has given me some of my favourite memories and introduced me to so many amazing people, and I’m really excited to help make this year just as fun. I’m so excited to meet everyone and for what’s to come this year! :)

Hey everyone! Nicole Liu here, serving as this year’s VP Internal Affairs. I’m currently in my 1st year of the HBA program. I started Taekwondo back in 2017 and earned my 1st Dan, then took a long break until I joined the Western Taekwondo Club, so I’ve still got a long way to go. I love being part of this club and hope you will too. I can’t wait to meet you all! :)
