What do you do on campus? What are you a part of, or are you passionate about at Davis?
On campus, one of my most important roles is as a peer advisor for the Department of Chemistry. Part of this role includes being on the student advisory council to the chair of the department. I love working with students, learning about their experiences, and being able to offer support in times of stress or success. I am also an undergraduate researcher for the Berben Group, which is an inorganic chemistry lab on campus, and my project focuses on redox flow batteries which contribute to storing renewable energy. 

Why did you join SAB? What is your favorite part?
I am joining the UE SAB because I am passionate about being an advocate for my peers and students in general. The university setting is a wonderful, yet complex organization that can sometimes overlook the needs and desires of students. I am looking forward to making sure that the instrumental voices of students are heard and changes that are being made truly benefit the undergraduate student population.
