2025/2026 Executive Board

Co-President

John Natcher

My name is John Natcher, and I’m currently serving as Co-President of the UBC Pre-Law Association alongside Ava Bush. This marks my third consecutive year with the club, and it’s been incredibly rewarding to watch it grow year after year. I’m entering my fourth year at UBC, pursuing a Bachelor of Arts with a Double Major in Political Science and International Relations. Throughout my time here, I’ve developed a strong interest in Arctic law, northern governance, and sustainable development. In addition to my work with Pre-Law, I’ll also be serving as one of UBC’s Sustainability Ambassadors this year—an opportunity I’m excited about, as it’ll expand my perspective on environmental advocacy. Over the past two summers, I’ve worked in Bodø, Norway, and Rovaniemi, Finland, contributing to research on Arctic resilience, business development in the High North, and, most recently, the rising legal tensions between Indigenous communities and critical mineral extraction projects.

Co-President

Ava Bush

Ava is a fourth-year Environmental Science major with a minor in Sustainability Sciences. After attending Admissions Night as a first-year student, she knew she wanted to become more involved in the incredible UBC Pre-Law community. Since then, she’s grown from general member to Fundraising Coordinator to VP Sponsorship—and is now thrilled to step into the role of Co-President! She has spent the last year studying abroad at the University of Copenhagen, participated in a course on microplastic policy at the University of Geneva, and joined a research excursion on analytical chemistry at Sorbonne University in Paris. After living her European dreams, she’s excited to return to UBC for her final year of studies before continuing to law school, where she hopes to pursue a career in energy and climate law. This year, Ava is especially looking forward to building community within Pre-Law through LSAT study sessions, the mentorship program, and new partnerships that will support and connect future law students.

Sarah Lennon

Hello! My name is Sarah, and I’m specializing in Sociology and Latin American Studies. This will be my second year involved with both the Pre-Law Society and the DEI Committee, where I’m excited to serve a second term! A fun fact about me: I was born in Ireland and raised in England for the first ten formative years of my life. I’ve lived in four countries, and both Mississauga and the UK are places I still consider home. I love reading, learning languages, meeting new people, and helping connect others. One of my main goals for Pre-Law this year is to help make the study and career of law more accessible and digestible for all students and peers.

Executive Assistant

Daniel Sul

Hello! I’m Daniel, one of your Executive Assistants for the 2025/26 year. I was born in South Korea but immigrated to Canada back in 2010. I grew up on Vancouver Island — and no, I’ve never seen a whale. I’ll be starting my second year in the Faculty of Arts, hoping to pursue a Dual Major in International Relations and Political Science, with a Minor in Law and Society. In a few years, I hope to see myself in Law School, following in the footsteps of Harvey Specter. If that doesn’t work out, you might catch me in intramurals, scoring hat tricks on the opposition. This will be my first formal year with the UBC Pre-Law Association; however, you might have caught glimpses of me at our events last year. I’m currently volunteering with the AMS Food Bank, have staffed a few MUNSA conferences, and am a member of the PSSA. You might also recognize me as your Orientation Leader this past September!
