Meet the 2023 Executive Team

Chris Habkouk

Chris is in his fourth year of Commerce/Laws, with a major in Finance. He will be continuing on with the BAP team as a Co-President after being an Events and Competitions Director in 2022. He joined BAP in 2020 and is keen to continue his contribution in his new role. Chris is also an incredibly lucky guy; he once has held a royal flush in a game of poker.

Janine Coupe
Faculty Advisor
Janine teaches financial and management Accounting at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels and has been the recipient of a number of teaching awards. Prior to joining academia Janine worked as an accountant for a number of leading Australian and Global organisations including those in banking, oil & gas, television and telecommunications. Her experience has been gained in New Zealand, the United Kingdom and Australia.
The Faculty Advisor role involves mentoring the chapter, providing references so good that potential employers not only want to hire, but also adopt, Beta Alpha Psi students and being an enthusiastic (but not before 10am) and supportive member of the team. Janine believes no member of BAP should ever leave one of our events hungry.
