Raccoons have been observed around the campus of Cal Poly Humboldt, particularly in the trash cans. In this study, I tested how distance from dining resources affects raccoon trash can use. I predicted that trash cans closer to dining resources would be visited more often than other trash cans. My results indicated that trash can location in relation to dining resources did not impact the number of visits.

This project consisted of two deliverables. The first is a digital Canva presentation that will educate Sorrel Leaf Healing Center non-clinical staff on the basic neuroscience behind trauma and how trauma connects to behavior and diagnosis, in addition to addressing cultural considerations and incorporating mental health first aid concepts. The second deliverable is a toolbox that provides coping skills interventions for staff to use with residents that assist with co-regulation.

This quality improvement project aims to reduce disparities in diabetes care by improving access to Tirzepatide through individual, community, and policy-level interventions. Set in a rural clinic, the project focuses on providing culturally tailored telehealth education, peer mentorship, and advocacy for expanded medication coverage. The goal is to improve patient outcomes by increasing diabetes knowledge, medication adherence, and access to evidence-based treatment. Guided by the Iowa Model of Evidence-Based Practice, this approach supports safe, equitable care and long-term sustainability through data-driven evaluation and community engagement.

My service learning experience explores the role of diverse imaginaries in education. At the Arcata After School Program I am exploring educational imaginaries by engaging students of diverse age groups and backgrounds in integrated learning opportunities. In a system where 'objectivity' is largely valued over unique subjectivities, I am interested in deconstructing the value of 'objective' education and creating a space for subjective learning experiences.

A collaborative experience where our team will interact with Ideafest participants and help them develop strategies to take their research to the next level. Our creative project is an online platform called Planet Rocket that will help spark community change by allowing users to crowd fund the talent and resources to make their projects a reality. We will give a live demonstration of how Planet Rocket works and recruit participants to list their projects on our platform so that they can take their research and create positive change in the local community.

Congress okays reducing sea lion populations to help out Chinook Salmon. Salmon are a cultural importance to Indigenous populations and play a key role in the ecosystems it lives in. The idea of killing a natural predator to save another that is used in many ways. The declining salmon populations are being affected by many different pressures and many others are being affected by it such as killer whales.

As participants of the 2020 Math Modeling Contest, we modeled the outcomes of a hypothetical plastic tax. We implemented this tax to help slow the world's plastic pollution problem.

In spite of the initial challenges the students from the U.S. and India faced in an international experiential learning program, they reported benefits including cultural and social learning, understanding different perspectives, gaining communication skills, improvement in reflective skills, and improved self-efficacy.

Interact to learn biological, kinesiology, medical, and veterinary concepts and details.

This evidence-based quality improvement project reviews solutions for enhancing safety and outcomes in patients with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) within rural hospital settings. Through the application of the Revised Iowa Model and systematically reviewing peer-reviewed articles and professional guidelines, the project aims at addressing key challenges and proposing evidence-based solutions. Solutions include patient-tailored care, staff training, and hospital-level policy actions. A SMART goal aims at measurable enhancement in patient safety and satisfaction through a systematic multi-level process for autism-informed care.
