Student Government Association

Hey Eagles! I’m Annika Hedemark, and I am the SGA President for the 2022-23 academic year.

I was born in Pennsylvania but raised most of my life here in Raleigh. I started at Wake Tech in Fall 2020 as a CCP (Career & College Promise) student with a goal to get an Associate in Science degree. This is my first year after graduating out of the CCP program. My goal after Wake Tech is to transfer to a reputable four-year college and earn a master's degree in library science.

As a previous senator of the student government in the 2021-22 academic year, I feel that I will be better prepared as this year's president. I hope to improve overall involvement and awareness of the many resources Wake Tech has to offer. I want to give everyone an equal opportunity at success by letting students understand how much we can do to support them. I feel so thankful to be a member of this year's SGA and I look forward to assisting and representing my fellow students as president.

Hello students, I am William Guevara. I am the Vice President for the 2022-23 academic year.

I was born and raised in Raleigh. This will mark the start of my second year at Wake Tech. Once I complete my Associate in Engineering degree, I will transfer to hopefully N.C. State or UNC-Charlotte and work on my bachelor’s or perhaps my master's degree.

I will work hard and give my best for the SGA. My goal is to make sure things run smoothly, help and give support. I am ecstatic to play a part in the SGA and connect with the students that I will serve.

Hi Eagles! My name is Kelsey Bell, and I am your SGA secretary for the 2022-23 academic year.

I am from Cary. Currently, I am pursuing an Associate in Arts as well as an Associate in Science degree. Then, I hope to transfer to a four-year college to major in Biology or Neuroscience. When I am not studying, I enjoy swimming (as I am a lifeguard) and watching Netflix.

My goal is to make sure that the minutes and agendas for meetings are easy to follow and accurate, as well as to foster more social events if COVID-19 does not get in the way of that. I look forward to doing just that in student government.

Hi everyone! My name is Ernesto Gallegos Torres, and I am the treasurer for the 2022-23 academic year.

I was born in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, and came to North Carolina in 2002. I am a Business Administration major at Wake Tech. I plan to obtain my bachelor's degree and possibly open my very own health-centered business in the future. As a disabled Mexican college student, I know how difficult it is to adjust to campus, and I also know how nerve-wracking it can be to ask for help. However, in Wake Tech, I have learned that asking for help can pave the way.

As a member of the SGA, my goal will be to reach out to all students and ensure that they are aware of all the resources they can possibly obtain. Spreading the word on these resources could help many college students like myself who are not always aware of the many things for which they qualify. I would also like to create a space where students with disabilities or anyone can come to me for help and make them aware of the fact that they can participate in the activities on campus. I am very excited to bring my perspectives to the SGA and grow alongside other members while serving all students.

Hello Eagles! My name is Andrew Pratt, and I am the Public Information Officer for the Student Government Association for the 2022-23 academic year.

I am from Holly Springs. I am a second-year student majoring in Business Administration to gain knowledge that will help me run my business. I run and own a photography and videography business, and photography is one of my favorite things to do. Other hobbies I enjoy are golfing, watching sports games, hanging out with friends and meeting new people.

I am interested in student government because I want to be able to voice the concerns of students who may be in their first year of college or coming back to school after working for a while. I look forward to working with my fellow Student Government Association members and meeting a lot of the students here at Wake Tech.
