What is a Jet KIWIN’S member’s favorite drink? Mana-TEA! Hello everyone. My name is Katrina Huynh, and I’ll be serving as your Jet Division KIWIN’S Lieutenant Governor for the 2019-2020 term! Some background information is that I’m an incoming senior over at Fountain Valley High School. In the past term, you could catch me running around as your divisional spirit captain!

Words cannot express how excited I am for this upcoming term. From working with all the officers, to meeting new members and creating new memories, I know that we have a great year ahead of us! There will be successes, and there will be obstacles. However, I know that, with spirit and service, we can all work together to create a lasting legacy. On my own part, I promise to give my all and more to ensure everyone has a memorable time.

Thank you for electing me as your Lieutenant Governor. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions, comments, or concerns -or even if you just want to chat! I am here for all of you. Let’s see what this year can bring!

Yours in Service and Spirit, Katrina

LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR

Katrina Huynh

Onion? Hunyuh? Hyoon? Nope! It’s Katrina Huynh, pronounced like Hwin. Katrina loves KIWIN’S so much that her last name rhymes with it! You can catch your 2019-2020 Jet Lieutenant Governor sporting brightly colored crocs, making weird faces and poses in photos, or posting about her food (boba!). She can’t wait for the upcoming term and is excited for a great year ahead.

EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT

Hey y’all, I’m Heather Tran and I’m your Executive Assistant for this term. Some fun facts about me are I like mukbangs, dogs, and long, neon, green acrylic nails (but only on one hand). I’m excited to spice up your term and make some fun memories with y’all ;))

This year has been quite a memorable one. I honestly can’t wait to meet/connect with you all and create many more memories. Feel free to approach me whenever you need anything and here’s a weird fun fact about myself. I can actually whistle through my teeth.

This year will be my second year as president and I could not be more proud and excited to be serving my Ohana family! So, a little bit about myself. I am currently a sophomore and I guarantee you can find me stressing about something ridiculous any given time of the day. In my free time (meaning sometime around 2 in the morning) I like to dance, listen to R&B music, and impulsively reorganize my room. Açaí bowls and new music is the way to my heart. I am the biggest foodie in the world but tragically broke. I’m a pretty shy person, but I love making new friends. So, if you ever see me around, don’t hesitate to say hi! I am so beyond excited for this term, to serve my community, and meet all of you beautiful people! Let’s make this term the best one yet!

It’s almost impossible to put into words how much KIWIN’S means to me but it has definitely been such a big part of my high school career and has really shaped me to be who I am today. It’s truly given me so much and I will surely do my best to repay it.

So some fun facts about me are I love love LOVEE penguins, my favorite color is green, and I love playing water polo! When I play smash, I ONLY play Kirby so fight me >:(( I also pour my milk BEFORE my cereal and that’s never changing. Also, I’m obsessed with Big Time Rush uwu they’re my absolute favs <33 Please feel free to approach and talk to me at any time because I love making new friends!! I hope that this upcoming term will bring me closer to lots of new people and I’m so excited to meet everyone!!
