What Am I DU-ing?

I am a current Senior in the BS/MS Occupational Therapy program at Dominican University of California (DU). Throughout my time at Dominican, I hope to maintain a good GPA, which is currently a 4.0. I am striving to graduate with Honors in 2023 and I plan to earn my Master's degree in Occupational Therapy in 2024. I enjoy working with others and hope to continue being involved on campus throughout my time at Dominican.

Recreational Volleyball

During my second semester of my first year at Dominican I was hired to supervise recreational volleyball on campus. I really enjoy working with DU students and this opportunity has allowed me to build on so many relationships throughout my years at Dominican. I really appreciate how this job has allowed me to continue a passion of my own, playing volleyball, while engaging with my peers.

Community Action and Social Change (CASC) Minor

Ritter Center - Fall 2019

While serving with the Ritter Center I got to interact with the homeless and those who are struggling financially in Marin County. As a volunteer I would help clients by grabbing the food items they wanted and bagging them. I would also help to restock shelves whenever supply was running low. During my time at the Ritter Center, I learned to see past the sign systems around being homeless and the negative stereotype that all homeless are "dangerous." Overall, helping out at the Ritter Center has been such a great experience and I hope to be apart of more service learning courses in the future!

Final Paper - Books Not Bars - Portfolio

By serving with WHAP I have been able to understand a lot more about Golden Gate Village and the residents living there. A majority of the tenants are African American and living below the poverty line, and by being present in this community I have been able to gain a much more memorable experience. I was able to work with the children during class time and I was able to spend time with them during their breaks. I had no idea about some of the current conditions of their classroom setting and their limited access to specific educational tools until I saw it for myself. By getting close and interacting with the individuals in this community, I have learned about some of the ways that they have faced inequality.
