She/Hers/Her Hi! I’m a senior and a political science and communication double major. I was born and raised in the Bay Area therefore SCU was an ideal choice for me. Other than SCCAP I am involved in Hermanas Unidas de SCU, Alpha Pi Sigma, and the LEAD scholars program. I am super excited to be on SCCAP staff because I have the opportunity to work on issues and topics that I am very passionate about.

She/Hers/Her I grew up in Durango Colorado and I love the outdoors! I'm a Philosophy and Religious Studies major so I am constantly questioning what is the meaning of life! I'm the oldest of three. I worked at a white water rafting company the past two summers and I love hiking, paddle boarding, baking, watching movies, traveling, and trying new foods! I'm always down for a dance party with hits from the 2000s. I'm obsessed with pretty handwriting, sticky notes, and fun pens! Lastly, I love meeting new people so come say hello!! I'm really excited to get involved with the larger Santa Clara community and make a positive impact. I can't wait to grow in my understanding and perspective of issues affecting us today. I hope I can share my love of education with younger students and help them follow their curiosity!

I’m from Portland, Oregon but I don’t like rain, so I’m happy to be at SCU! I am excited to be more involved in the Santa Clara community and meet people interested in helping others.
