Christian Zalli
I am a two-time UBC alumnus and current MBA student, having graduated from the UBC faculty of Political Science and the Peter A. Allard School of Law. I am passionate about helping students through the rewarding but challenging process of coming to university (for a first, second, or even third degree!) and finding new students to share this community and experience with. I look forward to connecting with students from around the world and here at home, and making their connection with UBC that much more memorable and meaningful. When not in class, I'm on the golf course or finding a new cafe!

I worked as a flight attendant in aviation, as well as roles in digital marketing and supply chain project management in the tech and manufacturing industry.

An avid food reviewer (I have a food account), I've been exploring the beautiful city of Vancouver through culinary hopping with my MBA friends. In my spare time, I practice calisthenics, yoga, and pilates, though I'm aiming to do more hikes in the future.
