Olivia Chong
(she/her)
Bachelor of Arts (HKU)
Hey guys! It's Olivia from the event & community team :) as a person tht studies gender studies, I am fully aware that queer comunity experiences trauma even until this day. Situations that are unfair to queer still exist. I believe QSA could be the first step for me to reach out to others and exposing voices to violence/the world is ultimately an act of healing, for myself and others. Other than that, I am extremely addicted to coffee, writing random poems and am always up to meeting new people.
Hit Me Up!!

Feel free to hit me up and let’s have a coffee chat:D

Carmen Leung

BBA: Accounting (HKUST)
Hiiii, this is Carmen from HKUST! As someone who has never joined any queer communities, I believe QSA can be the first step for me to connect with the community.
Besides, I enjoy watching and participating in different forms of drama productions as the lively interactions between the stage and performers are astonishing to me. Through drama plots which are great at challenging people's stereotypes, I have become more open-minded to new ideas. I hope that people can respect everyone's identities and ideas just like what I do when watching performances.
Feel free to hit me up for drama or anything :3

Bachelor of Engineering (CUHK)
My journey in activism has led me to find interest in queer theory, gender performativity and other academic work 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!

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!

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.
Cheng Siu Fung Lon
