Anna Margaret Clyburn / Senior / Martel
Anna Margaret Clyburn is a morning person. Anna Margaret likes plants. Anna Margaret likes cats, and people, and books, and French poetry,
and rom coms, and dresses with pockets, and sweaters that are a bit too big. To me, Anna Margaret Clyburn is a mythical creature—she does
incredible things that I could never imagine doing. She’s there when you need her. She finds time when there is no time. She always knows the
right thing to say. And I don’t know anyone else that cares so genuinely and so much for other people. You can often find Anna Margaret visiting
vegan restaurants across Houston, running the outer loop, singing karaoke, ordering steamed almond milk at Chaus, actively not closing the
hundreds of open tabs in her web browser, talking to Leebron, dancing, reading books with long titles very quickly, photosynthesizing on the
sundeck, being the Rice student body president (yes, actually!), writing papers that are twice as long as the page limit, looking at pictures of cats
on the internet, speaking French, putting too many books in her backpack, making tea, or just generally being awesome. She’s from Wilmington,
North Carolina; she’s studying French and History at Martel; she’s graduating in Spring 2021; and she is incredibly excited to meet you 🙂
Anney Tuo / Junior / Martel
Get ready to be cultured in the best way possible because Anney Tuo is your advisor! If you’re ever in need of food, music, or trip recommendations, this Martel junior’s got you covered. Hailing from San Jose, California, this Bay Area girl isn’t just busy reminiscing about Boba Guys or the daily NorCal breezes. You’ll find this Neuroscience & History Major and Biochemistry Minor-
er doing research with cute mouse pups in the Texas Medical Center, organizing the next campus-wide event as Socials VP of Rice Program Council, or tutoring away Sunday nights as a Martel Mentor: all done with the aspirations of becoming a physician to the stars (talk about Big Brain Energy). But for every gallon of BBE, there’s a splash of DBE. This Tik Tok addict and corgi butt- loving queen can’t get enough of poke, K-Pop music videos, and YouTube beauty guru drama. It’s obvious the wealth of knowledge and advice you’re getting with Anney as your advisor, but the best advice Anney can give you is life advice. Here’s an advisor who’s ready to go the extra mile from Martel to the TMC and back to help you especially through your roughest moments to come at Rice.
Jose Castillo/ Sophomore / Martel
Jose Castillo is a rising sophomore in Martel College from Houston, Texas majoring in Mechanical Engineering. He was originally
interested in majoring in Economics, but was drawn towards Engineering during O-Week. When Jose is not studying for
a class, you can find him playing Horse Pool with his friends. If you are not familiar with Horse Pool, ask him the next time you
see him; it’s a blast! Late at night, you will without a doubt find him playing Smash Ultimate in his room. Jose’s passions are Stitch
from Lilo and Stitch, Volleyball, and early 2010 Pop songs (in that order). A few of his many talents include closing down North
Servery in less than thirty minutes as opposed to the usual forty-five (WOW) and forgetting his keys in his room. If you ever
want someone to binge play video games, have a Disney marathon, or play Volleyball with Jose is the right person to go to.
Jared Perkowski / Junior / Duncan
Jared “Jar-bear” Perkowski is a rising junior from Duncan College majoring in Economics and Social Policy Analysis. Jared
lights up any room he enters, not just because of his warm and engaging personality but because of his ability to destroy you
with a roast at the drop of his patented Duncan hat. Nevertheless, the proud Duncan VP “really respects you” and “really
respects your right to have that opinion”, and “is here for you, man” no matter the situation. Mild hair loss and a tendency
to Shazam literally any song recorded after 1980 has led to speculation that Jared is actually a Boomer sent to spy on us fellow
kids. Ask about his predilection for swimming in the DuncTank and the affable Ohioan will inform you that it’s part of his
mantra of “going sicko mode”. A Cleveland native, Jared is arguably the city’s best basketball player since LeBron James. There’s
not a soul that could ever dislike this man, and with him as your advisor, you’re sure to have a truly spectacular O-Week.
