Bio

Bio: I am a first-generation college student originally from Redding California. As a Global Disease Biology major I aim to pursue a career in public health! More specifically, I am passionate about healthcare policy and communications. I am delighted to continue my education and pursue new extracurriculars and student experiences on campus. I love stepping outside of my comfort zone and trying new things! For example, I have previously been a member of  the UC Davis Women’s Rowing Club, learned ceramics through the campus art studio, and even helped to create a student-run organization. 

Why I love my role: I am excited to aid students participating in the Washington Program as a Peer Advisor, as well as advertise for the Washington Program as the Social Media Manager. My goal is to help participants feel well informed about the program, assist them through resume reviews and workshops, and create a positive internship application experience. Having worked as the Social Media Manager for the Washington Program last year, I am excited to continue to help the Washington Program grow through digital marketing and student outreach!
