I Value People

I wanted to get more involved in making friends and creating a positive education and social environment for all my classmates. I loved getting to know my cohort and bringing people together to make new friends and memories. My favorite part about being the community manager was working with my peers and with the UCSC M.S. Human-Computer Interaction community managers to make cross-program events! These experiences created friendships and inter-program cohesion and participation in each other projects. The joy of bringing people together fills my soul and drives me to be a better leader. I only ever want the people around me to be happy and find good people to experience what life has to offer.
