Hi ! I’m Lily a first year student hoping to major in drama with an additional major of either media studies or psychology.

SEFAT AHLUWALIA

(she/her)

Social/Outreach Coordinator

Hey everyone! I’m Sefat Ahluwalia, a 2nd-year Management and Psychology student and the Social Outreach Coordinator for the UofT Drama Coalition. I’ve loved theatre and acting since I was a kid, and now I get to help build the community that once inspired me. From national events to student-led productions, I’ve always gravitated toward bringing people together. This year, I’m focused on making UofT drama more connected, inclusive, and loud, and making sure everyone feels like they have a place both on and off the stage.
