Danna Saenz
VP of Operations
She’s originally from Bogotá, Colombia, but Danna’s life has had a taste for variety. She’s lived up and down Florida’s eastern coast and even spending time residing in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico. These experiences drive her to seek out a career bursting with travel and excitement, but most importantly creative fulfillment. Now a junior and Ad/PR and Writing and Rhetoric double major, she’s found a passion for self-expression through the written word. And yoga. You’re guaranteed to find her at the RWC’s power yoga on Sundays.
Cassie Arrigo
Director of Membership
West coast native Cassie Arrigo left her lifestyle in the desert surrounded by cacti for the beaches of Florida. Originally from Phoenix, Arizona, Arrigo is a third-year student in the Ad/PR program at UCF as well as a Burnett Honors Scholar.

Lauren Schwartz
Director of Events
Born and raised in Parkland, Florida, Lauren is not far from home. She was, however, far from knowing what she wanted to major in when heading to UCF. She recently found her passion and fell in love with Ad/PR and everything creative. Cooking shows are also her guilty pleasure, and she incorporates creativity into her cooking – especially Pad Thai. From graphic design, marketing, and advertising, Lauren is always open to learning something exciting, new, and maybe even tasty.
Gretchen Wiemer
Webmaster & Creative Director
As a ninth generation central Floridian, Gretchen was destined to become a Knight. With a passion for art, ever since she was a little girl, and a love (maybe a little too much love) for planning and organization, Advertising seemed to come naturally to her. While Gretchen loves Ad/PR she can always be found taking on a new challenge her current endeavor is Real Estate, but who knows where she will go next.
