Camila Goldberg
President | COM ‘26 | @cami.goldberg
Hailing all the way from Buenos Aires, Argentina to bless us with her beautiful voice and caring soul is Cami! Cami is a sophomore majoring in Advertising and minoring in Business Administration & Management. Her favorite artists are Morat, Lizzy McAlpine, and Charlie Burg. In her free time, Cami loves yoga classes, trying new coffee shops, photography, and designing/editing with Adobe apps. She is also a color-coding master — if you get the chance, ask her about her master HUB-course spreadheet… our future favorite CMO is not playing around! Cami has also introduced the group to lots of delicious new candies like Palitos de la Selva, which we are eternally grateful for.
Preston Merritt
Vice-President | CAS ‘26 | @pmerritt.5
Introducing the human personification of In Achord’s spirit: Preston Merritt! Preston is a sophomore from Greenwich, CT, and is one of the funniest people you will ever cross. This bubbly and sweet girl is an avid reader and enjoys watching movies in her free time – she also has a bit of a cinematic eye herself, as shown if you check out her visionary TikToks. We’re counting down the days until Preston goes viral – keep an eye out! If Preston had to talk about one thing for hours on end, it would be Robert Pattinson in Twilight without a doubt. Preston is one of our sopranos/mezzos, and we’re truly mesmerized by her smooth tone and beautiful musicality. Her favorite artists are Fleetwood Mac, Beyoncé, and Mac Miller.
Michael Atlas Meng
Music Director | CAS ‘24 | @atlasarceus
Truly one of the most well-spoken and chill people you will ever meet is THE Michael Atlas Meng. Atlas is originally from Ann Arbor in Michigan and is currently a senior in the Marine Science Program at BU! When they’re not putting together fish skeletons or exploring tide-pools in class, you can find Atlas collecting Pokémon cards, playing video games, or just sleeping. BTW, Atlas is probably the most knowledgable person about Pokemon you’ll ever meet. Some of their favorite artists are Hozier, Joji, and Post Malone. Did you know that Atlas won Homecoming King in high school but never actually went to Homecoming? Silly Atlas!
Carius Whitaker
Music Director | CAS ‘25 | @cariuswhitaker
Y’all… not only can Carius sing like nobody’s business… but they’re also stylish as HELL. Carius is originally from Arlington, TX and came all the way to BU to study Neuroscience and Philosophy. They are one of the smartest people AND funniest people we know – Carius is one of those people who has crazy stories, so maybe they’ll indulge you if you ask! Carius enjoys crocheting, reading, wearing bucket hats, and of course, fashion. Also, a fun fact about Carius is that they won State Champion for wrestling when they were in the 6th grade: don’t mess with them, or they could mess you up! If you take a deep dive into Carius’s playlists, you’re likely to find lots of Yebba, Bruno Major, and Whitney Houston.
Julia Rocque
Assistant Music Director | Wheelock ‘27 | @jkr.4512
This beautiful girl is none other than our very own Julia Rocque. Julia grew up in Portland, ME; however, she was actually born in Cambridge, MA — coming to BU was definitely a full circle moment for her! Julia is a freshman studying Education and Human Development, but music has also always been an important part of her life. She’s been acting, performing, and playing ukulele and piano for as long as she can remember. Her favorite artists are no others than Harry Styles, Elton John, and Billy Joel! We can’t not mention this gorgeous girl’s adventurous side — if you ask nicely, she might teach you how to skii. Julia is also an expert thrifter, so if you ever need anyone to shop with, she will say yes in a heartbeat!
Zora Browne
Tresurer | PAR ‘25 | @zoraabrowne
Meet Zora Browne - a master of all things international and domestic. Hailing from Sankt Wendel, Germany and residing in Clarksville, TN, this world traveler is making the most of her college experience by majoring in International Relations with a French minor and pre-law track. With a diverse taste in music, ranging from BLACKPINK to The Weeknd, she's always ready to turn up and get down. Zora is one of the most spontaneous AND down to earth people we’ve ever met. If you're looking for a SpongeBob watching buddy, you're out of luck, because Zora's never seen a single episode (which is shocking to us too). But it’s okay – with all the other amazing things she's got going on, who needs SpongeBob anyway?
Bryan Chen
Secretary | QST ‘27 | @bryan_c.k
Born in Singapore and raised in Taiwan, our very own Bryan Chen is the brother we all needed. Bryan is a freshman studying Business Administration and has a life story you won’t want to miss — so if you ever get the chance, ask him about it! Bryan’s favorite musical artists are Gabrielle Aplin, Kendrick Lamar, and Vicky Chen (but shhh don’t tell him we revealed his secret! He is actually a Swiftie at heart!). Additionally, Bryan loves to read, sleep, eat , and work out. If you ever need a gym buddy… he’s your guy! This is all to say that Bryan is the guy who will always go with the flow and bring the best vibes — we are so happy to have him in our IAC family!
Vishal Jain
Marketing Director | CAS ‘27 | @vish.jain_
Meet Vishal Jain — IAC’s man of all trades. Originally from Rockville, MD, Vishal came to BU to study Neuroscience and Philosophy on the pre-medical track. As if his intelligence wasn’t enough, Vishal has the voice of an angel and can beatbox like no other — don’t say we didn’t warn you when you hear him and blows your mind! If you see him on the street with headphones on, he will most probably be listening to Noah Kahan, Post Malone, or Lizzy McAlphine. Ask him where he is going? Probably to the courts to play basketball or volleyball (OR rehearsal!). Vishal loves to exploring new places — except for public parks because he is deathly afraid of pigeons!
Maxim Slobodchikov
CAS ‘25 | @smax.13
Meet Maxim - computer science student by day, music producer and frisbee enthusiast by night. He’s originally from Lexington, MA and is currently a junior! When he's not busy working on his problem sets, you can find him swimming across the Charles River in record time (3 minutes and 26 seconds!) With a diverse taste in music ranging from Anderson Paak to Pierre Bourne, Maxim is always down for a jam sesh or two. Let him know if you need a sick beat, because music producing’s his side hustle! A huge plus, Maxim is IAC’s resident DJ — this guy really knows his music. Additionally, see if you can spot Maxim biking on Comm Ave – this guy bikes everywhere and has no problem waking up two minutes before class to make it on time.
Gabriela Padilla
CAS ‘23 | @gabriela.padillaa
Alto? Tenor? Soprano 1? Coming from Lexington, MA, Gabriela (or Gab) has the multi-octave voice of an angel. Gab is a junior majoring in Psychology! In her spare time, Gab likes to read, go to spinning classes, bake, and listen to all types of music. In fact, some of her favorite artists include, Rina Sawayama, Caroline Polachek, P!nk. Are you hungry? Craving something sweet? Well, look no further because Gab’s special talent is being able to make a cheesecake consistently 98% of the time! As for the 2%, don’t ask. If you ever find Gab on campus, ask her to recite Ego’s speech from Ratatouille. PS: Gab solo’s on “Spirit” from our recent EP Motions. Take a listen because it’ll knock your socks off!
Clyde Paul
QST ‘27 | @clydepaull
This hilarious businessman is none other than Clyde Paul! Clyde, born and raised in New York City, is now a freshman in The Questrom School of Business. If you see a guy wearing a suit on Comm Ave, nine out of ten times, it will be Clyde. He is the one to go to for all your professional needs, but his talents expands much further. Clyde has an incredible voice and was an active member of choir all through High School. He once even performed with Idina Menzel! Another of his great talents: poetry. But you’ll have to ask him personally to learn more about that. His favorite artists are no other than Drake, Kid Cudi, and Kendrick Lamar. If you ever get lucky enough to meet Clyde, we promise you he will bring a biggest smile to your face!
Matteo Finnerty
CAS ‘27 | @matteofinnerty
Adding to our list of IAC members from Massachusetts, we have the wonderful Matteo Finnerty! Matteo is a freshman from Natick, MA studying Biology. His passion for music begins with his love for Hozier, Fleetwood Mac, and Houndmouth, but doesn’t stop there! Besides singing he is a master guitar-playing, songwriter, and song producer! This resident tenor, baritone, and bass (because yes — he can do it all) is also our IAC jokester — his humor is the best and never fails to make us all laugh! Fun fact: Matteo met Morgan Freeman when he was 5 years old — become friends with him and maybe will pass along the contact if you ask ;)

In fact, she does a lot of commission based work featured in galleries around Philadelphia — and we must say it’s CRAZY good! Once you hear her beautiful voice, you will realize how much inspiration she draws from Amy Winehouse, Kendrick Lamar, and Boygenius. Paige is a visionary and always looking for the next project to get involved in. Remember her name because one day we’ll all be reading about her everywhere!

You can catch Erin climbing up mountains and exploring the great outdoors — she’s got so many wonderful stories to share. And if you're looking for a Survivor super fan, look no further!

Sevi Ettinger
CAS ‘25
If you’re missing a jet-setting, multi-talented, and incredibly intelligent woman in your life, may I introduce… Sevi! Our sweet Sevi is from Alexandria, VA but actually lived in + went to school in Shanghai for 9 years! This multilingual queen is in Kilachand and has a passion for Psychology and anthropology. Sevi is one of our most reliable Sopranos and hits those high notes like it’s nobody’s business (and we’re all in awe everytime she does them). Her favorite artists are The Weeknd, RAYE, and Silk Sonic, and her favorite things to do are singing 24/7, eating good food with friends, community service, and going to the cinema (even more so if it is at midnight!).
