Hi! My name is Sophia and I am a second-year Neuroscience major with a Biology minor. Being pre-PA, I am passionate about forming a space that implements intersectionality into healthcare, education, and advocacy. Other than SCCAP, I am also a part of Barkada, the Filipino and Filipino-American club on campus, and Rho Psi Eta Professional Pre-Health Sorority. Outside of my professional passions, I enjoy cooking and I love R&B and soul music! ​

I am a sophomore at SCU majoring in Political Science and Child Studies. I'm from Boulder, Colorado and love all things outdoors! Hiking, backpacking, and skiing is my jam. I also love discovering new music and new places- I am always down to explore! ​Through SCCAP, I am excited to expand my understanding of pressing and ongoing issues on our campus and beyond. I look forward to collaborating with others in efforts to create a better, more just community.

​Hi! My name is Sharmila Bhatt and I am currently a junior majoring in Psychology with double minors in Real Estate and Women & Gender Studies. For me, cooking is like a love language which is why I am super excited to join SCCAP this year and support the JW House by cooking meals for families of patients being treated nearby. In my free time, I love doing a bunch of things including playing guitar, backpacking, photography, and driving through the Santa Cruz Mountains!
