Bio

I’m a fourth year at the University of California, Davis where I study an interdisciplinary course of Design and civic engagement with a minor in Professional Writing. My goal is to not just build for the community, but inspire meaning in people’s lives by building with our community members. As an actively involved scholar, I have directed The UC Davis Pantry food bank for three years, volunteered at the UCD Children’s Hospital, and assessed and distributed financial scholarships to students through We Are Aggie Pride. I further deepened my understanding of our international need for social change when I studied abroad in Germany, Italy, France, and Switzerland through the UC Davis Summer Abroad program. While abroad and taking International Community Development, I explored how the poverty obtain their resources, the economic conditions of the underserved and people of color, and the social security system of each country. I aspire to work for developing or underserved communities by working with them to create things that best fit their needs. We can learn so much from them and about the appropriate tools we make for this world. Design should be meaningful and I can’t think of a better social impact than designing for people who actually need better resources, improved living conditions, and more opportunities in our society.
