Undergraduate Student Government
Tanner Noble
President
I am currently a junior and pursuing a career in Psychology. I want to graduate with a master's so I can one-day counsel younger children. My hobbies include video games, movies, and card games like Magic the gathering. I also attend church and help around my community. My goal as president of USG is to improve and increase involvement in the Kent Trumbull experience. Go Flashes!
Allison Phibbs
Vice President
I am a sophomore majoring in Business Management and minoring in Finances and I am a member of the homecoming court and I also work on campus in the Student Services building. I graduated from Hubbard High School in 2020. In my spare time, I like to explore different coffee shops and relax with friends and family. After college, I plan to work in the banking industry. I am excited to work with the other students here at Kent Trumbull and to have the most fun possible while bringing everyone together. Go Flashes!
Nadia Currence
Secretary
I am a sophomore pursuing a degree in Nursing. My dream career is to be a full-time nurse and a part-time firefighter on the search and rescue team. Something about me is that I love dogs, they are my favorite creature on this planet and I can never get enough of them. A random fact is I got into firefighting when I was 16 and when covid hit I had to take a break from it, and I cannot wait to go back. In my spare time, I like playing my piano, watching streamers, and spending time with my family. I am excited to be a part of USG because I am hoping to meet a lot of new people, and be a part of something amazing here at Kent Trumbull. GO FLASHES!!
