Reeya Amin 
PRESIDENT
# OF SEMESTERS IN TREBS: 4​
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!

Jewel Stevenson
MUSIC DIRECTOR
# OF SEMESTERS IN TREBS: 4
SOCIOLOGY MAJOR​

Jewel feels such an excitement and honor to be in Trebs for a second semester. She joined Trebs Fall 2017, when she transferred here from Community College. Trebs is the perfect place for anyone who has an appreciation for music. Jewel loves R&B more than anything else in the world, so trebs feels like home to her. When she’s not jamming out with her fellow Trebs, she’s stu-dying sociology with the hopes of getting her masters and then going to law school. Her goal in life is to become a Supreme Court Justice and re-program the Criminal Justice System. In the meantime you can peep her working hella jobs, like Serving at the Melting Pot, and Concessions at Merriweather Post Pavilion. Like any other sane human being she loves bingeing TV-shows; her faves include How to Get Away with Murder, Scandal, and Being Mary Jane. She loves Mac & Cheese but to her downfall is Lactose Intolerant. She’s overall an undercover weirdo but fun and loveable. Trebs has become such a big part of her life and she wouldn’t give it up for anything.


Mia Carmel
ON-CAMPUS BUSINESS MANAGER
​# OF SEMESTERS IN TREBS: 8
PUBLIC POLICY AND ECONOMICS MAJOR

Mia is a treb until death, in fact she might be the most treb treb since treb. Mia is most well known for her denim apparel, forehead kisses, and her tendency to not know that we are off key. Mia has a really big mouth (physically, not theoretically) which makes her a pretty good singer, but she was mostly just accepted into the group because she used to have an eyebrow piercing. Mia has served as the business manager/treasurer and also the social chair (a position she made up). Mia’s favorite quote is: “don’t do whatever you like, like whatever you do”:) ​


​Stefanie Abramowitz
ON-CAMPUS BUSINESS MANAGER
# OF SEMESTERS IN TREBS: 4
ELEMENTARY EDUCATION MAJOR​

Stefanie’s greatest life decision was joining the Trebs.  Over the past two semesters she has already 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!

Shannon Turco
​OFF-CAMPUS BUSINESS MANAGER
# OF SEMESTERS IN TREBS: 4
NEUROBIOLOGY AND PHYSIOLOGY MAJOR

Although Shannon hasn’t been in Trebs very long, she is absolutely sure that she’s found her new family. 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 three 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.


​Jackie Kempa
PUBLIC RELATIONS
​# OF SEMESTERS IN TREBS: 2

Being a treb means the world to Jackie. Although she hasn't been in trebs for very long,  she already feels right at home. Jackie loves science and psychology so she pursuing a Bachelors of Science in Psychology and hopes to go on to get her Masters degree, and M.D. after that so she can be a psychiatrist.! Besides analyzing human behavior, she loves musical theatre. Jackie has played the roles of Elle in Legally Blonde and Mary Poppins in Mary Poppins, and Amber in Hairspray just to name a few roles.  She also enjoys riding horses, skiing, and hanging out with Trebs 24/7 of course. You can probably find her at Dunkin' Donuts. Since joining Trebs, Jackie has been more confident, creative, and feels as though she has found her family at UMD. She could not be more thankful for these wonderful girls in her life and does not know what she would do without them. She cannot wait to get to know them even more.

Danielle Stein
​ALUMNI LIAISION
# OF SEMESTERS IN TREBS: 8
BROADCAST JOURNALISM MAJOR​​​

 Danielle has been head over heels for Trebs since she first auditioned her freshman year.  She is a Junior journalism major, hoping to one day come to a TV station near you reporting on your favorite sports teams.  Danielle comes from Boston and probably won’t let you forget it.  Aside from singing, you can catch Danielle running from Maryland Stadium to the Xfinity Center covering Maryland athletics for her TV show, watching the same two movies on repeat, whipping (and nay nay-ing) up new recipes in the kitchen, convincing friends to come to Body Pump at the gym, and thinking up puns left and right. She loves Trebs more than anything else. What Danielle loves most about Trebs is that it is more than just a singing group, but a family that made her feel accepted and loved from the first day. ​

Rachel Colonomos
ALUMNI LIAISON
# OF SEMESTERS IN TREBS: 8
HEARING AND SPEECH SCIENCES MAJOR

Rachel knew that Trebs was her family from the moment she walked into her initial auditions. Since joining in the fall of 2015, she has grown to be a much stronger, musically adept, confident, and kind woman. Rachel feels so blessed every day to have found her best friends and her sisters through Trebs! After she graduates college in 2019, Rachel hopes to return back to Spain (where she is currently studying) and teach English to children with special needs. She can’t wait to live with two of her best friends from Trebs during her senior year next year. She looks forward to always having Trebs as huge a part of her life.


JILL STABILE
SOCIAL CHAIR
# OF SEMESTERS IN TREBS: 6
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. ​


Emma Higgins
 ​SOCIAL CHAIR
# OF SEMESTERS IN TREBS: 4
PSYCHOLOGY MAJOR​​

Emma cannot begin to express her gratitude to every other woman in this group for fostering an incredible community devoted to learning, loving, and growing together as musicians and women. Though her relationship with singing and music has endured since she learned to talk, she never before knew the level of passion she would develop with Trebs by her side. When she isn’t rehearsing with Trebs, she is hanging out with Trebs or crying in public places with Trebs. She loves denim, jazz, chik’n nuggets, G&T’s, theatre, and Shoshana Bean. UMD has been a nurturing home to her since she transferred here in fall 2017, but when she graduates she hopes to pursue a masters in social work or her PhD in psychology and then be the best mom ever. She is watergating. Xoxo


Brianna Nelson
FUNDRAISING CHAIR
# OF SEMESTERS IN TREBS: 6
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 2 more years left with these beautiful angel beans and can't wait to see how Trebs continues to shape her life.


Sonya Datta
MEMBER
# OF SEMESTERS IN TREBS: 2
​CRIMINOLOGY AND FRENCH MAJOR

Even though Sonya has only had one semester in Trebs, she loves loves LOVES it and is so happy to have found a group that feels like home. When not singing though, Sonya can be found crying about her Arabic classes in McKeldin, at the gym, pretending to be her twin, or looking at planes. She loves her cats, Dewey and Decimal, and thinks Panera Bread is the absolute best restaurant of all restaurants (cafes?). Even though Sonya is studying Arabic and Criminal Justice, she doesn’t plan to use either in the future, and instead, hopes to commission into the US Air Force as a 2d Lt when she graduates next year! She would love more than anything to get a slot to go to pilot training, and hopefully become a fighter pilot for the world’s greatest Air Force! Without the Trebs in her life, Sonya would probably be very sad, and she’s looking forward to many great semesters to come!


Mel Armstrong
MEMBER
# OF SEMESTERS IN TREBS: 2
ELEMENTARY EDUCATION MAJOR

This is Mel's first 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.!


Gillian Chase 
MEMBER | ABROAD
​​​# OF SEMESTERS IN TREBS: 4
MECHANICAL ENGINEERING MAJOR & SUSTAINABILITY MINOR

BRUH, Gil is thrilled to start her second semester with the trebs. Even though she hasn’t been in the group too long, Gil knows that she has found her forever home here with the trebs. With all the stress from school Gil loves ending the days by singing and having fun with some of her best friends here at UMD. Gil is a sophomore majoring in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Sustainability (yeet). In the future, she hopes to work at the Walt Disney World as an Imagineer designing new attractions, resorts, and parks. When she isn’t talking about Disney, Gil can be found watching Vine compilations to keep her from ending it all (rip vine :/), buying more comfort colors shirts that she doesn’t need, watching rom coms, or crying. Gil can’t wait to see what the future hold for trebs and is excited for them to grow as a group.

Abigail Hower 
NEW MEMBER
​​​# OF SEMESTERS IN TREBS: 1
CRIMINOLOGY AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE MAJOR

As an upcoming sophomore in college, Abby has been in trebs for one semester now. Her passion for singing is what drove her to audition for such an amazing group! This is her first acapella group ever, and she has learned to love it. When she is not listening to Lil Wayne or Tory Lane, Abby is busy studying Criminology and Criminal Justice with the intent of adding a minor at some point in her academic career. She loves trebs and can’t wait for her next three years in the group! 

Isabelle Dyson
NEW MEMBER
​​​# OF SEMESTERS IN TREBS: 1
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.

Gabrielle Angelucci
NEW MEMBER
​​​# OF SEMESTERS IN TREBS: 1

Gabby is so happy to be a treb! She has loved singing for as long as she can remember and feels so lucky to be able to continue making music in college. Aside from singing, Gabby enjoys playing soccer, watching movies, and messing around on the piano. Stressing is her specialty, she could probably eat her weight in pasta every day and not get sick of it, and she has a soft spot for musical theatre. Life is so much more fun with Trebs in it, and Gabby cannot wait to continue singing with these wonderful, talented girls!
