Meet Our Leadership

  • 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!

  • Fabiola Vindas Montero

    CO-PRESIDENT

    Hi! My name is Fabi, I’m a fourth year business major (I’m sorry), and this year I’ll be serving as Co-President of Tea! I’ve been involved with the events team since my freshman year, so I’m excited to lead Tea from this new position. My favorite author is Toni Morrison and a fun fact about me is that I’m very passionate about the history of cheese!

  • Sydney Hinton

    VICE PRESIDENT / PHOTOGRAPHY EDITOR

    Hi! I’m Sydney and I’m the Vice President for Tea this year, as well as the Photography Editor. I’ve been a part of Tea since freshman year, starting out as a photography staffer then moving up to Photo Editor last year. I’m a 3rd year Fine Arts major, minoring in Graphic Design. My favorite writer is Louise Glück and a fun fact about me is that I adore live music!

  • Sarah Garfield

    EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

    Hey everyone and welcome to TEA! My name is Sarah Garfield, and I am honored to be serving as your Editor-in-Chief for TEA's 28th's edition. I have been in TEA since my freshman year, serving as the Design Editor for the past two years, and it's so bittersweet to be able to lead this team in the 2025-2026 school year. I am a rising 4th year double majoring in Behavioral and Cognitive Neuroscience and English, with a minor in Statistics. My favorite author is Kurt Vonnegut and a fun fact about me is that I am an avid record collector!

  • 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.

  • Turner Toliuszis

    DESIGN EDITOR

    Hi! My name is Turner Toliuszis, and I'm the Design Editor for TEA 2025-2026. I'm a rising senior majoring in Graphic Design with a minor in Mass Communications. I've been in TEA since I was a sophomore, and this will be my second year as Design Editor. My favorite books that I've read this past year are '100 Years of Solitude' by Gabriel García Márquez and 'Piranesi' by Susanna Clarke (both books have very different vibes but I highly recommend them)! I'm looking forward to working with the TEA team this year.

My favorite book I’ve read recently is The Princess Diarist by Carrie Fisher. In my free time, you can find me cooking and binging House MD.

  • Eluney González

    PROSE EDITOR

    Hi everyone! I will be returning as the Prose Editor for TEA's 28th edition. My favorite part of working with TEA has always been getting to know my staff and discussing our pieces with them.

My favorite authors are George Saunders and Jhumpa Lahiri, and a fun fact about me is that I love birds.

  • Noah Hamer

    POETRY EDITOR

    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. I'm double majoring in linguistics and psychology with minors in and English (to study poetry, of course!) and statistics. A couple fun facts about me are that I almost always have a collection by Don Paterson or Gjertrud Schnackenberg on my person and that I'm ambidextrous.
