Engagements
Undergraduate Research Conference
I received University Honors for my thesis project and presented the research and prototyping process at the Undergraduate Research Scholarship and Creative Activities Conference. I was able to defend my Design choices and explain the importance of encouraging Design discussions and praxis to support the student academic experience.
Alumni Networking Day
I organized Alumni Networking Day to reunite the UC Davis Design community with current students. The event included keynote speakers, a post-graduation panel, and workshops led by department organizations. I moderated the panel.
Climate Action Arts Network
I am the co-host of CAAN You Hear It? a podcast that brings together faculty, researchers, artists, students, and community collaborators to expand public understanding and collective climate action.
FAHC Health Conference
I presented my Health Disparities research about Diagnostic Delay of Celiac Disease amongst Black and Hispanic Americans at the UC Davis Medical Center Education Campus to propose possible interventions at different scales.
Gilman Scholar Study Abroad Panel
My Gilman Scholar Outreach included creating a panel with Professors, Global Learning Program Enrollment Staff, Department Advisors, and Financial Aid Advisors. This became an annual format that the Department of Design began to replicate.
Yolo County Backyard Bulletin
I spoke on the local radio about the politics of museums, farm worker news, and my most recent research paper about local museum display practices.
