Mason Touma, President
Voice Part: Bass
Year: Junior
Major: Biology and Computer Science
Pronouns: He/Him
Nickname: The Toumanator, Big Tuna, Touma
Mason comes from a land far away called Louisville Kentucky. When he’s not “studying” for a test or singing, he is found napping… and that’s about it. His hobbies include bullying his friends, playing video games he secretly hates, or building a new lego he wasted his money on. Mason is so happy to be singing with this fantastic group of people he considers family!
Lexi Garcia, Music Director
Voice Part: Soprano
Year: Sophomore
Major: Music Production and Marketing
Pronouns: She/Her
Nickname: Alexia
Lexi Garcia was born in Chicago but she was quickly whisked away (against her will) to South Barrington (a suburb of Chicago) where she was then raised. When Lexi is not singing (which is rare) or talking about her obsession with a cappella, she is often found crocheting or sewing in her room, while watching New Girl or a random Netflix reality TV show. Lexi is so excited to aca-slay (barefoot of course) for the rest of her time in TM!!!!!!
Jocelyn Bogart, Co-Business Manager
Voice Part: Soprano
Year: First-Year
Major: Marketing and Vocal Performance
Pronouns:
Nickname: Jo-Bo
Meet Jocelyn: A chronic worrier heralding from the medium-sized town of Apex, North Carolina. When not performing and feeling the stage under her bare toes, you can find her sobbing in practice rooms, driving around her Honda Accord named Beverly in the wee hours of the night, snobbishly ranting about Michael Giacchino’s score for The Batman, causing massive acts of destruction with microwavable mac and cheese cups (don’t ask), or listening to a Dungeons and Dragons podcast she’s amassed over 1,000 hours on. Never give her a lollipop stick. Never. She’s so excited to spend the next four years with some great barefoot buddies!
Maya Spencer, Co-Business Manager
Voice Part: Alto
Year: First-Year
Major: Music Production and English Literature
Pronouns:
Nickname: Beautiful, Gorgeous, Icon, Legend, Genius
Whimsy-Gumption chart creator, Maya Spencer is an NC native from Raleigh. Outside of music, she enjoys pretending to read in study rooms, meddling, turning on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack on vinyl just to feel something, and reminiscing about the glory days as she ponders the moon during wee hours of night. Self-proclaimed future-crazy cat-lady and peer-proclaimed AI, Maya pushes the boundaries for just how much a girl can take!
Ryan Merrigan, Treasurer
Voice Part: Baritone
Year: Junior
Major: Economic Consulting and Finance
Pronouns: He/Him
Nickname: Mommy Merrigan
Ryans is from Davidson, NC and sings bass for TM. When he's not sleeping, he is extremely over caffeinated on coffee. His greatest personality trait is being diabetic with a close second being a Cleveland Browns fan. Besides acapella, Ryan is killing himself with many "overcommitments". Ryan didn't envision himself being a part of acapella when he first got on campus, but now he can't image a world without his family.
Keller Knight, Performance Chair
Voice Part: Baritone
Year: First-Year
Major: Music Production and Recording Arts
Pronouns: He/Him
Nickname: Killer Keller, TaQueller, Lin Manuel, Skateboard Blaine
Keller, the five-foot-seven guy who’s just your type, has trekked barefoot from the villages of Middletown, MD just to join Twisted Measure. When he is not writing little songs or dancing around—he just can’t sit still or shut up!—Keller can be found being startled by loud noises and saving the planet with silly goofy beat. He has been described by friends as a soundboard, granola lesbian, and woodland creature, and by enemies as “still hot and sexy.” Likes: Henrietta (his plant), mugs, irish people Fears: gluten, low blood-sugar, decisions Knows: when that hotline bling

Voice Part: Bass
Year: Senior
Major: Strategic Communications
Pronouns:

Year: Senior
Major: Psychology / Strategic Communications
Pronouns: She/Her
Nickname: Jules, Ju, Juj, Juju, Jujujujuj
Julia Johnson is currently working on being the coolest singer from her hometown of Fairfield, CT. When she is not bumping to TM’s Spotify, she can be found listening to very underground artists like Harry Styles. If there were a fan club for La Croix, Julia would be president. She can’t wait to make amazing music during her next 4 years in Twisted Measure, during which time she also hopes to stop saying “lmao” unironically.
Casey Goldman, Co-PR Chair
Voice Part: Alto
Year: Junior
Major: Arts Administration
Pronouns: She/Her
Nickname: TBD
Born in Tennessee and home grown in the Midwest, Casey is so excited to be apart of the bare-footed brotherhood. When she’s not singing, you can find Casey staring longingly out to sea and waving a handkerchief to her lost lover, wrestling her corgi, or in the Cookout drive-through line.
Alexa Citrin, Historian and Social Chair
Voice Part: Mezzo
Year: Sophomore
Major: Journalism and Political Science
Pronouns: She/They
Nickname: Shlexa
Hailing from the tiny town of Granite Falls, NC Alexa is thrilled to be whisked away making music with the barefooted brotherhood. When not singing, Alexa can be found holding multiple beverages at a time, frantically moving around like a moth at a streetlamp, and struggling to stop talking for longer than 10 seconds. As a self-proclaimed movie buff, she will also spend an incredible amount of time talking about how Cars the best movie of all time. Eventually she hopes to learn how to tell her rights from her lefts and walk without tripping over air.
Emily Mallard, Design Chair
Voice Part: Mezzo
Year: Sophomore
Major: Public Health
Pronouns: She/Her
Nickname: TBD
Emily was born and raised in Wichita, Kansas. You can usually find her frantically speed-walking to class, stressing out, or kicking it with the ducks at Lake Mary Nell (shoutout Mary). Much like many members in the group, she has fallen victim to the choir/theater kid to a cappella pipeline. Her talents include twitching her right eye in an unsettling manner, losing her water bottle, and sleeping anywhere at any time. She hopes to one day be able to drive to Walmart without using google maps.
Catherine Lyche, Sergeant at Arms
Voice Part: Bass
Year: First-Year
Major: Arts Administration
Pronouns: She/Her/They
Nickname: TBD
Catherine was born and raised in Northern California on the coast of the biggest ocean ever- Lake Tahoe! She spent her youth on snowmobiles, in cold water, and on skis rummaging through the mountains and trying not to perish from her asthma. Once she figured out how to breathe properly she survived and thrived as the tallest girl in her grade from the age of 0. Some people liked that and her alien face so much that they asked her to work as a mannequin for a few years overseas! She posed and got her makeup done a lot by angry Italians until her tomboy essence took over and she turned into the hulk, landing her with the deepest voice a gal can have. and now she is TM’s bussiest bass!
Sebastian Schroeter, Website/YouTube Chair
Voice Part: Baritone
Year: Junior
Major: Sport Management
Pronouns: He/Him
Nickname: Seabass
Sebastian was born in New Jersey, raised in Atlanta, Georgia, and lived in Montreal, Canada for 4 years. He’s a pretty big rap fan and favorite artist is Kendrick Lamar, but will listen to most anything. Seb’s favorite food is chicken wings, but is a wimp when it comes to spicy food. Fun fact: he doesn’t actually like sea bass. He loved to play basketball, is pretty good at video games, and can pick up the trumpet again if he’s up for it. As a new member as of Fall 2022, Seabass is excited to be a part of the ™️ family for the next 3 years and cannot wait to perform!
Lars Heidenreich
Voice Part: Tenor
Year: Senior
Major: Entrepreneurship and Business Analytics
Pronouns:
Nickname: Larsi Boy
Heyo I’m Lars! My middle name is Thomas and my favorite pastimes include: Human watching, unsuccessful baking, and making songs on guitar and piano, and many more things! I’m passionate about music and pumpkin pie. Snowboarding is the same thing as surfing a snowy mountain. Come prove me wrong.
Anna Derr
Voice Part: Alto
Year: Senior
Major: Psychology
Pronouns: She/Her
Nickname: Nana, Monster, Big Mons
Anna was born and raised in Durham, North Carolina (Bull city baby!). When she’s not singing, she is probably trying to figure out where she put down something that’s currently in her hand, or impulsively buying something at Target. Her talents include mediocre impressions, eating quickly, yelling, and blinking with one eye. Anna never thought she would find herself in Twisted Measure, but she couldn’t be happier now that she is here. She can’t wait for the next four with her new family!
Luke Carter
Voice Part: Tenor
Year: Senior
Major: Environmental Science & Integrative Biology
Pronouns: He/They
Nickname: Lulu, Pukey
Luke is an indecisive decisive over thinker from the small irrelevant town of New Castle, Indiana. He enjoys staring out his window very dramatically as if he is trapped in a box like an animal in a zoo. He also enjoys long walks in nature, only if they are done in a manic manner and at an extremely fast walking pace. He is a connoisseur of cheese and tripping up stairs. He hopes to one day learn how to spell “grocery” correctly.

Graham Boggess
Voice Part: Baritone
Year: First-Year
Major: Acting
Pronouns:
Nickname: Nesbit, Boggs
Forged in the fires of Athens, Georgia, Graham has been wreaking havoc ever since he sliced his way out of the womb. Having played baseball for 11 years and saxophone for 6 years, Graham has since shifted his focus to acting so that one day he can play Jack Black so accurately that he could take his place and no one would notice. In Twisted Measure, he sings as a baritone and hopes to one day perform Careless Whisper with the group because it would be so cool guys i swear please guys come on it would be so good- He also has a big head, both literally and metaphorically. Proficient in being average height.
Payton Snead (Abroad)
Voice Part: Alto
Year: Junior
Major: Exercise Science
Pronouns: She/Her
Nickname: Pay Pay $, PP, Lil Shrimp
Payton was born and raised in Virginia Beach, VA. You can normally find her frantically walking around carrying 7 things in her hands, keys slamming on her emotional support water bottle. Her favorite food is oatmeal, and often paired with a celsius or another form of caffeine. When she’s not singing, she’s either in a coffee shop, at the gym, crying, or overthinking. If you see her around campus, she’s most likely romanticizing her life when she’s just going to get food.
