Ian Jackson
CO-PRESIDENT
Hey, my name is Ian and I’m the President of Tea! I’m an English major who enjoys making art, watching movies, and writing horrible poetry. When I’m not on campus studying (I don’t study) I’m usually working on a new piece for my portfolio or making zines for fun!

Alex Fanaro
TREASURER
Hi everyone, my name is Alex Fanaro and I will be serving as treasurer for the 28th edition of TEA! I've been in a part of TEA since my sophomore year, serving on the Prose Staff, so being a senior with a title is kind of surreal to me now. I am a 4th year accounting major and plan on getting my masters in 2027. My favorite author is Ali Hazelwood, and a fun fact about me is that I love pretty much all aspects of artwork except actual museums; the quiet freaks me out.

Mary Hanson
WEBMASTER
Hi! My name's Mary, and I'm the webmaster for TEA. I've been with TEA since freshman year, and I'll be a fifth year now. I've served as webmaster for the past 3 years, but last year, I was both webmaster and treasurer. This year, I'm passing the treasurer mantel to Alex! I don't have a favorite book, but I have three favorite poems: Wild Geese by Mary Oliver, We Know What Art Is by Adam Zagajewski, and Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening by Robert Frost.

Hello! I'm Noah Hamer, and I'm stoked to be serving as your poetry editor for TEA XXVIII! This will be my third year at UF — and my third year with TEA.
