Austin Ruan, Treasurer

Hello! My name is Austin, and I’m a rising sophomore studying Accounting with a minor in English. I like to write poetry, draw, paint, read, and listen to music in my free time. My favorite genres of literature are fantasy and science fiction, and my all-time favorite novel has to be John Steinbeck’s “East of Eden.” I really like matcha lattes and basically anything matcha-flavored, but caramel is a close second. I’m looking forward to a great year serving on the Alloy executive team!
