Who is Tonny?

Tonny is currently serving as the Director of Wellness for the student council this year. He is in his fourth year, pursuing a degree in psychology, to specialize in industrial-organizational psychology. He is from Nairobi, Kenya, and in his free time, he enjoys playing video games, spending time with friends, and staying active through soccer, running, and working out. One of his favourite books is Atomic Habits by James Clear. What excites him most about his role in ASC this year is the opportunity to organize events and create interactions that will positively impact the mental health of not just students but the entire campus community.
