As part of the inaugural class of UC Merced, I am committed to the progress and development of the campus. The UC Merced Alumni Association (UCMAA) is a highly active network of alumni dedicated to the continued growth of alumni relations between ourselves, the campus, and students.
As a former Vice President of the Board of Directors of UCMAA for four years and Board Member for six years, I helped support the strategic goals of the Alumni Office to increase alumni involvement with the university through leveraging networks and engagement opportunities. UC Merced is a growing campus in the 21st century and needs support from near and far. If you wish to nurture this new campus please take the opportunity to GIVE HERE. GO BOBCATS! |
The Mycological Society of San Francisco was founded in 1950 to promote the understanding and enjoyment of mushrooms and other fungi. Their mission has since expanded to preserve mycological habitats and to promote and maintain the rights of the general public to collect mushrooms for study and recreational purposes on public lands. They host a myriad of events to promote mycological education and research, the most popular being the annual fungus fair help every first Sunday of December.
I have served a number of roles in the society including Vice President, Fungus Fair Chair and Co-Chair, and speaker coordinator. Currently, I am arranging a dynamic speaker series during the fair and I am always looking for interesting mycological speakers! Connect with me if that sounds like you! |
I served under both the health and youth development sectors of Peace Corps in Morocco where I helped developed a peer health education program catered to middle school students. Students were introduced to leadership, creativity, and community work through our program. Students chose relevant health topics and built lessons using poetry, acting, art, and spoken word to educate their peers on theses topics. In addition, I joined several expeditions to rural communities where we taught basic hygiene, leadership skills, and teamwork, something many people in the world have never been exposed to in a classroom setting before.
