hi! i’m soz (she/her) and i’m third year double majoring in psychology and critical gender studies. fun facts about me are that i love morally ambiguous protagonists and trader joe’s vegan banana bread. i have also been listening to charm by clairo all summer. i’m at my happiest when i’m supporting my community, so i’m excited to pour my passion for social justice into qtpoc and practice radical imagination together!

Hi there! I’m Mateo, a second year structural engineering major. I’m super passionate about climate justice, accessibility, and bringing true equity to higher education for QTPOC folks by improving access, building close-knit communities and creating spaces where we are comfortable standing out. I love nature in all its forms from hiking to gardening to camping and so so much more! I also love traveling to and exploring new places and riding motorcycles. Please never hesitate to reach out for absolutely anything, my email is mailto:mas040@ucsd.edu

I’m Jay, a person studying bioinformatics and critical gender studies, hoping to push workplace boundaries to create more space for queer PoC people in professional spaces! Over the past couple years, I have learned a lot about mutual aid and hope to implement more horizontal and sustainable support in the community. I am also working to utilize the institution’s resources to foster broader reaching community care. Beyond coursework and QTPoC, I love reading, being in nature, and a bit of gardening. If you want to reach out or need a good hug find me at the gspot or SPACES

Hi I am V, fourth year in Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience major with a minor in Ethnic Studies. I enjoy reading, gardening, doing art, and hiking. I am deeply passionate about connecting with my community and promoting equity mindedness. I love thinking about and gearing to action about decolonizing our mind, non-western forms of healing, and deviating from extractivism, and this is the sort of ideas I try to bring to QTPOC. I also love geeking out about alternative states of consciousness, lil bugs, and MUSIC :) Please feel free to reach out to me, this is my e-mail: tannu.n28@gmail.com if you ever want to connect :))))
