Our Team

EVC National is led by a National Student board and an Executive Board

National Student Board

PRESIDENT
Hi! My name is Logan Tullai (he/him), and I'm a senior at Brown University studying Political Science and Economics. I'm so excited to be working with our nearly 100 campus chapters and partners this year! On campus, I’m involved with voting access as the Chair of Advocacy for Brown Votes, the university’s initiative for democratic participation, and through Brown's chapter of Every Vote Counts. Outside of voting advocacy, I am the President of the Brown Political Union, a multi-partisan forum hosting debates and speakers, and I sail on the Club Sailing Team.

VICE PRESIDENT
Hi there! My name is Olivia, and I am the Vice President. I am a senior at Claremont McKenna College pursuing a double major in Government and Russian and Eastern European Studies. Growing up as the daughter of an immigrant, I was brought up to value both liberty and patriotism. Voter registration and other voting efforts are a way for me to serve our democracy as a student. I have been involved in voter registration efforts since high school, volunteering with the League of Women Voters and HeadCount and leading a two-year effort to register high school seniors at my school. I was also involved in election security and resilience work with Girl Security during the 2020 Presidential Elections. Every Vote Counts is a fantastic organization that empowers civic-minded college students. Through EVC, I have been able to continue helping voters while in college and serve as President of Every Vote Counts (EVC) Claremont, the 5 Claremont Colleges Chapter of Every Vote Counts. Most recently, I co-founded and serve as Co-Director of the Claremont Initiative for Voter Engagement Strategies (CIVES), a student program sponsored by the Kravis Lab for Civic Leadership to increase voter turnout and enthusiasm around civics on Claremont McKenna's campus. I am so excited to help GOTV this election season and look forward to working with all our incredible chapters and partners!

Hi! My name is Rebekah (she/her) and I am a junior at Lafayette College majoring in Government and Law & Sociology and Anthropology. As I serve Director of Non-Legislative Advocacy, I look forward to being part of such a significant student-led network for civic engagement. Thus far, I have created a variety of event templates for our chapters to host. On Lafayette's campus I am involved with the Landis Center for Community Engagement to promote quality connections and service within the community. Beyond civics, I am President of Lafayette for Reproductive Justice, Autonomy, and Empowerment, a Writing Associate, and Captain of Lafayette's Mock Trial team!

DIRECTOR OF CIVIC EDUCATION
Greetings! I’m Bao Le, a sophomore at Vanderbilt University majoring in Economics and Mathematics. As a Nashville native, I’m passionate about economic development, equity, and civic engagement. On campus, I’m involved with BridgeUSA and the Vanderbilt Outreach for Community Empowerment Initiative, where I work to expand political discourse and emphasize the importance of service.

DIRECTOR OF LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY
Hi! My name is Everton Prospere (he/him), and I am a sophomore at Brown University studying Political Science and Hispanic Studies. I am particularly passionate about grassroots activism and finding methods to effectively incorporate voters, especially underrepresented voices, into the United States' election systems. As the Director of Legislative Advocacy for the National Student Board, I am thrilled to help in the important effort to increase youth civic engagement by tracking legislation and court cases nationwide and supporting partners and chapters. On campus, I participate more actively in voter engagement as the President of the Every Vote Counts chapter at Brown. Outside of the civic realm, I am a junior conductor for the Brown Band and can often be found at the local tennis courts!

DIRECTOR OF MEDIA
Hi! My name is Sahana Thayagabalu (she/her), and I am a sophomore at Harvard University studying Statistics and Global Health and Health Policy. As a born-and-raised Floridian, I have witnessed the impact of voting on education and day-to-day life, which has motivated my involvement in voter engagement. I am the Director of Media with EVC, so I take care of our organization's social media and design! This year I'm hoping to increase EVC's engagement with youth voters, using social media as one of our main outlets to doing so!
