Hello! I'm a 4th-year studying Public Health Sciences. I joined SOAR because I want to empower historically marginalized communities on campus to find their voices and help navigate the resources available to them. Outside of SOAR, I love to take naps and binge shows!

Hi! I’m a 3rd year Education Science student. I enjoy going to the beach with friends and trying different crepe places. I joined SOAR because I wanted to be part of a team that cares and helps communities that are underrepresented through their college journey.
