Hey! I'm a Junior Mathematics major with a huge passion for working with the disabled community. I began my career as a SCCAPer as a volunteer teacher's aid at Chandler Trip Preschool. Since that experience, I have also served as the Program Coordinator for Special Olympics and have worked as a trained Behavior Technician for Autism Learning Partners in San Jose. I hope that this year my department and I can inspire the SCU community to engage in social justice opportunities in healthy and safe ways!

Hey guys! I am a sophomore majoring in business from New Jersey. I love going to the shore and exploring new beaches, listening to music, watching cringey horror movies, and Jersey fist pumping whenever I can! I’m so excited to be a program coordinator for H&D and to work with so many new people!

Hi, I’m Kendall. I’m a sophomore political science major and sustainability minor. I’m from Olympia, Washington. I enjoy hiking, running, and spending time with my friends, family, and three dogs. In my childhood, I did gymnastics and enjoyed a team environment. In highschool, I was very involved in an environmental club where we volunteered outdoors often; it inspired my current love for outdoor volunteering. I also have been involved in Unified Sports, where general ed and special ed students team up to encourage inclusion in all aspects of school and life. My long-term life goal is to go into law with a focus on providing a voice for people with disabilities and other minorities, additionally, focusing on our environment.

Hello everyone, my name is Sarina Chang. I am a third year Biology and Public Health double major. To relax I enjoy walks in the park, a nice swim, online shopping, and naps. I'm looking forward to my second year on SCCAP staff and I can’t wait to show you what we can do even in this online time. I have always been really passionate about social justice and service so I hope you’re excited to get involved too. ​
