# OF SEMESTERS IN TREBS: 4
ELEMENTARY EDUCATION MAJOR

This is Mel's 4th semester in Trebs, and she could not be happier that she joined this group. Mel has always loved to sing, but has a greater appreciation for it after meeting her fellow Trebs. She's from Massachusetts, and never lets anyone forget it (go pats!) Mel loves devouring CAVA as many times a week as humanly possible, and rewatching the Office every day of her life. Mel works at schools and summer camps when she's not at schools, and loves helping out at her family daycare. Mel is an Elementary Education major, and hopes to move back to Boston and teach in the city! She hopes to work at a Boston Public School, and eventually work in the administrative section of the school system. Without Trebs, school would be so boring for Mel. She is so grateful for the group and can't wait to continue working with the amazing girls in the group.!

Music Director

BIOENGINEERING MAJOR​

Jillian has been blessed to be in Trebs since the beginning of her Freshman year. In addition to finding a place at UMD to be artistic and continue her passion for music, she has found a group of supportive, talented, and likeminded girls to spend her weeks with. Jill is majoring in bioengineering and taking on a Pre-Medical track with the goal of attending medical school. Her life goal is to become a physician to care for and help others. If you can't find her, chances are she is on campus doing work and counting down the seconds until she can leave. When she is not agonizing in the dreaded McKeldin, she is probably napping, baking or watching the most recent episode of the Bachelor. Without the help of Trebs, Jill would have an unfilled void and her experience here would most definitely not be the same. ​


​Stefanie Abramowitz
Assistant Music Director

ELEMENTARY EDUCATION MAJOR​

Stefanie’s greatest life decision was joining the Trebs.  Over the past 6 semesters she has fallen in love with the Trebs gang and has had an incredible time singing with such talented and genuine ladies.  Besides singing and making Trebs giggle, Stef enjoys painting, playing guitar (very mediocre-ly), being outside (even though she has an irrational fear of bugs), and getting lost in Youtube.  She hopes to be legally married to her English shepherd doggies one day.  In the future, Stef aspires to be a superb elementary school teacher and change little kiddos’ lives!

CRIMINOLOGY/CRIMINAL JUSTICE AND PSYCHOLOGY MAJOR

Reeya is beyond excited to lead this group of women and loves trebs with every ounce of her existence :) She came into college feeling like something was missing, and Trebs (and the crazy Gs) have filled that hole for her. They are the best friends a girl could ever ask for, and she's thankful to be a part of such a bright, FUN, loving, and talented group of women. When Reeya isn't studying in Mckeldin, you will 100% find her talking about her beautiful golden retriever Jeevan - aka trebs mascot. She also LOVES makeup, and will likely force you to put lipstick or glitter eyeshadow on if you spend too much time with her. While at UMD she hopes to travel and spend a semester abroad, exploring Europe and the world. Reeya is really passionate about social justice, especially in the criminal justice system so in the future she hopes to work with the justice system. She's a busy chic, but beyond grateful that she has the Trebs to help her through it all!

Shannon Turco
​Off-Campus Business Manager & Social Chair
# OF SEMESTERS IN TREBS: 6
NEUROBIOLOGY AND PHYSIOLOGY MAJOR

Shannon is absolutely sure that she’s found her new family in Trebs. These girls make her smile until her face hurts and laugh until she pees. She is so unbelievably honored to be part of such an amazing group of women and cannot wait to spend her next two years at UMD building a stronger bond with them. Aside from singing and taking an excessive amount of naps, Shannon can be found either in a lab coat or stuffing her face with chocolate (not an exaggeration). This girl has got some big plans of one day becoming an orthopedic surgeon so she can help those in need and prove that a tiny girl can do a tough job (while wearing a dress under her scrubs of course). Knowing that she’s gonna be in school until the end of eternity, Shannon is excited to have Trebs by her side to keep her sane. Never before has she belonged to such an incredible sisterhood and her love for each and every one of them grows every day.

DANCE MAJOR​

Brianna has been in Trebs since her first semester at UMD, and she honestly can't imagine her life without it.  Since the first day she stepped into the basement of JMZ, she realized this would be her forever family. When she's not singing, odds are you'll probably find Bri in the dance studio, or trying to be at 3 different places at once.  She's passionate about performing, baking, cats, and of course her friends and family.  After graduation, Brianna hopes to spend time out in the performance world of dance, considering places like Broadway and Disney World.  She feels so lucky that she still has 1 more year left with these beautiful angel beans and can't wait to see how Trebs continues to shape her life.

Isabelle Dyson

​​​​# OF SEMESTERS IN TREBS: 3
CRIMINOLOGY/CRIMINAL JUSTICE AND PSYCHOLOGY MAJOR

Isabelle was so happy to hear that she was finally a Treb this spring semester. She is a freshman criminology and psychology double major. When she’s not singing with the group, she’s studying for her classes (boring) or laying in bed watching Netflix and avoiding homework that needs to get done. Without trebs, her life would feel a little less like a movie. This group came along at exactly the right time, and feels like a dream come true. She can’t wait for more semesters singing with them.

Olivia Carson
Fundraising Chair
​​​# OF SEMESTERS IN TREBS: 2
​BUSINESS MAJOR

Since transferring to the University of Maryland this semester as a junior, Olivia has gotten involved in many groups on campus in order to make a smooth transition, with Trebs being one of her absolute favorites. Coming from a high school a Capella group, Olivia knew that she would need the continued presence of singing in her life, and was able to find that outlet through Trebs. Along with that came the opportunity to meet the absolute best group of girls. In addition to the UMD Treblemakers, Olivia is in one of the four professional business fraternities on campus, Phi Chi Theta, where she cultivates her professional aspects and interests. When Olivia isn’t singing or doing homework, you can most likely find her doing something active outside, working out, spending time with her friends, spewing out the most stupid puns and dad jokes known to mankind, or walking into a wall somewhere. While she most likely won’t be studying abroad, as she had initially intended, she plans on making the absolute most of her remaining years of college through fun memories with people who she already considers to be lifelong friends. Olivia was a Finance major at her old school before she transferred, and intends to either continue on that path or Economics. She cannot wait to pour her heart and soul into this group and the girls in it, and is so excited for what’s to come!
