President
Neha Limbu
she/her
BSc in Information Security (PolyU)
Hey fruitypops (or non-fruitypops)! I'm Neha, one of the Co-President of the QSA. I'm a language enthusiast and a proud cat owner. She's not as proud of me, and that's fine because I still love her. But here's the real deal: I'm really passionate about LGBTQ+ advocacy and awareness. Let's work together to create a safe and inclusive space where we can all be ourselves without fear or judgment.🫶
Jodie Chan
she/they
Speech Therapy (HKU)
Advocating for equality and LGBTQ+ rights has always been something I am passionate in. QSA is a friendly and inclusive place for like-minded people to meet each other, while making a change for the community. I work hard when I have to, but also get wild when having fun. Always up for an interesting conversation, preferably over a drink.

Yekaterina Kim (Kate)
they/them
BA in Humanities and Digital Technologies (HKU)
My journey in activism has led me to find interest in queer theory, feminist theories and other literature on LGBTQ+ topics. I believe that the end goal of research is to apply it in activism, educating people and fighting for freedom and equality in the most efficient and meaningful way. I hope to make my vision come to life through my work in QSA!

Hi there, it's Inez (again)! I'm excited to be entering my third year with QSA. My passion for LGBTQ+ advocacy has only grown stronger with time. I've been a part of QSA for quite some time now, and I truly feel like I belong here. That's why I'm committed to continuing my work with the organization, ensuring that everyone who joins our events feels comfortable and safe to express themselves freely. This year I'm in the Outreach Team so y'all will see me more often :>

Hello, this is Hanry from the Career Team. I am interested in the DEI related issues in the workplace and wanted to contribute more on promoting the DEI concepts for corporates.

Govini Elvitigala
they/them
Science: Chemistry (CUHK)
Hi :) I'm a science person becoming increasingly enamored with gender. The concept of it, the whole existence of it - confusing, fascinating, enthralling. I am excited to be getting more involved with it. I like watching video analyses of queer movies/ anime/ any media really and am always looking for more - recommendations please! Talk to me about any topic that interests you – recently I learned about the roots of languages, mind blown. I like knowing things and being involved - especially in the gender and sexuality area. I did not expect to find a queer community coming to Hong Kong and having found it, I look forward to contributing to it.
Alina Duisenova
she/they
BA in Special Education (EdUHK)
Hi! I am Alina from the Careers Team of QSA :D Existing in fandom-ish spaces since middle school made me friends with the concepts of queerness and nonconformity and made it clear why my favorite characters from childhood were Pleakley from Lilo&Stitch and Terk from Tarzan (I also loved Shrek, so yes, I am old :B). Currently I am interested in critical theory, essay books - both funny and sad, full of vulnerability and hope, and creating the opportunities for inclusive education. I hope that with QSA everyone will have the opportunity to feel included, so don't miss out on events planned for this year!
Cheng Siu Fung Lon
he/him
Economics and Finance (HKU)
Besides declaring his sex orientation, Lon believes being part of the LGBTQ+ community is making a change. QSA is a place where he feels comfortable to meet all walks of life and grow the community. While he might look serious, you might find a soft heart inside :)) Always up for a drink and stories~

Hi everyone :)) I'm Yauvani and a part of QSA's Career Team this year!
