Ellie Petersen

Digital Communications Lead

Hi! I am Ellie Petersen, a Photo/Media senior in the School of Art. My interest in art is driven by experiential and layered approaches, discovering new techniques and ways to present them to others is an endless space to explore!

Beyond creative projects, I love trying new things, but you can typically find me paddle boarding, collecting rocks despite not knowing what they are, or stringing up a hammock.

Elsa Zhong

Marketing and Communications Intern

Hi, I’m Elsa Zhong, a Marketing/Information Systems senior in the Business School. My interest in marketing and branding is driven by a curiosity to learn about people’s minds and behaviors as well as the creative aspect.

I want to get marketing experience in a variety of fields, and here I am interning for UW Recreation. I’m excited to be part of a time capsule project and continue to tell the story of recreation on campus through this creative project.

I am Punya Shetty. A curly-headed human from Bangalore, India. I am currently pursuing a 2-year Early Career MSIM program from the iSchool with a specialization in Data Science. I am originally from Mangalore but have moved around quite a bit. (Fun fact: I have changed a total of 7 schools and this has made me super adaptable).
Travel and food are the 2 things that get me uber excited. I don’t discriminate between beaches and mountains. Love them both dearly <3

I am passionate about trekking and running. I hope to run a full marathon in this lifetime. (Managed to complete 21K until now)

My favorite hobby is binge-watching TV shows, and I love meeting new people.
