Major: Biological Sciences

Who I relay for: I relay for my aunt who was diagnosed with breast cancer last year.

Additional description: I hope to bring awareness and education to the people around me. I never realized how much family member getting diagnosed would affect me so imagining how cancer effects other's everyday lives is the reason I joined CAC at Irvine. We hope to leave things better than how we found it.
