Officers

2023 - 2024 Student Bar Association Officers 

Executive Board

Kathrine Coonjohn

President

Hello! My name is Kathrine, and I am honored to serve as President of the Student Bar Association this year. I am a 3L from Alaska, who is passionate about public interest, strengthening community, and advocating for Alaska to be a stronger part of national legal society. It is my great pleasure to collaborate with the Lewis & Clark Law School students this year to create fun events, hold open “office hours,” and be a conduit that carries student voices directly to administration, to solicit support for our endeavors! Outside of the law, I love making time for baking, playing the violin and piano, oil painting, learning languages and just being in the forest. If you would like a meeting with me, please text or email me. I’m really happy to make 1v1 time to walk with you in Tryon and listen.

Mike Kelly

Secretary

Mike Kelly is the 2024–2025 SBA Secretary. His educational background is interdisciplinary, with a concentration in philosophy. He enjoys being outdoors in the beautiful PNW, and actively participating in his local communities. Mike’s motto is simply: be good to others.

Ava Mastrianni

Vice President of Student Affairs
Hi my name is Ava Mastrianni and I’m a 2L here at LCLS and I’m so excited to be your VP of Student Affairs this semester! As a member of the exec board of SBA I’m hoping to continue to advocate for students and connect them with the resources they need to have a successful law school experience. When I’m not doing anything SBA related or in the library you can likely find me drinking coffee, forcing my friends to get sushi, or going on a nice, long walk. Looking forward to a great year ahead!

Ananya Raghavan

Vice President of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging

Hello everyone! I’m a 3L from California, and I’m passionate about environmental law, specifically environmental justice, energy law, and animal law. I’m looking forward to supporting the student body, and am passionate about DEIB initiatives. Outside of legal work, I love to read, sing, spend time outdoors, and travel. Please reach out if there’s anything you would like to see happen this year!

Baylee Seeman

Vice President of Communications

Hello! I’m thrilled to serve as this year’s Vice President of Communications. I’m a 2L from Arkansas with a background in political communications. In my free time, you can find me making ceramics, tending my garden, or enjoying the great outdoors. I can’t wait to share all the exciting work SBA has in store with you this year! 

Amy Webster

Vice President of Programming
I am a 3L from Wisconsin and I am so excited to be the Vice President of Programming (again) this year. I look forward to providing the student body with tons of fun events, and fostering connections across the school. When not doing homework or planning events, I enjoy sewing, crocheting, and exploring the sights of the Pacific Northwest. If you have any ideas for events you would like to see on campus, please do not hesitate to reach out!

Roger Yuan

Treasurer

Hi! My name is Roger, and I’m a 2L at Lewis & Clark. I’m looking forward to being Treasurer this year and to getting some practice in Excel. More importantly, I’m delighted to work in a position where I can help capable people come closer to meeting their goals. Outside of work and school, I try my best to stay busy. I like watching horror movies, playing pick-up volleyball, making trivia questions, and touching moss. Please reach out if you’re interested in any of the above, or have questions I can answer!
