I developed a mobile dog food pantry to meet the needs of unsheltered pets across Humboldt County. Using donations from various sources and implementing similar models used by local nonprofits, I developed access to pet food in areas with an unmet need.

In a collaborative RSCA-funded project, the Cal Poly Humboldt Library and Nursing Program created five activities focused on global health. The inspiration for the project came as Cal Poly Humboldt was selected to host the National Library of Medicine traveling exhibition Making a World of Difference: Stories about Global Health.

Come learn how local actions and activism make a significant impact on global health!

I have conducted a broad range of research examining the recreational sport of slacklining and its participants known as ‘slackers’ . Although the solo action of slacking is entirely individual, the activity as a whole couldn’t be farther from it. As this began as an insight into the slackers' personal intentions during participation, my research has expanded to encompass the inner workings of the Humboldt slack community as a whole, illuminating the bond members share with one another. Binding this community is a social adhesive comprised of shared linguistics, communication networks, hierarchical dynamics, artifact exchanges, community events, and ritual practices.

Friends of the Dunes is a non-profit organization in Manila, California that has various educational programs available for the community to educate younger children about the natural diversity of our beautiful area. As a part of my Service Learning Project, I felt that it was important to show younger generations the value and importance of coastal ecological restoration and the fun that can be had in the process. By showing children the importance and connection we have with the life around us, I believe they will have a better understanding of critically thinking and assessing about how to address environmental problems in the future.

Within this research project, I’ll be presenting a controversial topic that many today deem as unchallengeable due to the influence from the history books the colonizers of our country wrote to indoctrinate us with. From this investigation, I intend to analyze conflicting theories so as to narrow down the plausibility of pre-Columbian transoceanic travel between Africa and the America’s. My goal with this project is to elevate African voices and perspectives, to show the public the possibility of alternative truths, as well as spread a sense of skepticism towards our Western history books. ​

The community need I addressed is part of the Department of Health and Human Services Mental Health branch of Hum WORKS.

"A Journey Through a Mind (an interactive labyrinth game)" is an exploration of my personal experiences as someone with bipolar. It will take you through the daily choices and struggles a person may go through as they are experiencing hypomania or depression. The point is for the viewer to get lost in the labyrinth and for them to struggle to find a suitable solution. It also expresses my frustration with the medical/mental health system.

College Corps has provided more than 100 full time students to work with nonprofit community partners around Humboldt County. Food for People is one of those community partners and from an intern's perspective, it is not difficult to see just how big of an impact “the largest food bank of Humboldt County” makes on the residents of Humboldt County. With a variety of pantries and different programs that provide food for seniors and children that are from the low-income community that impact grows and even more so with the changing economy.

Eating disorders affect at least 9% of the world population (ANAD, 2020). About 28-74% of risk from eating disorders is through genetic heritability (ANAD, 2020). In the City of Whittier there is a lack of awareness and education on body positivity and eating disorders. The Beautiful Body Project will increase middle and high school student's awareness of eating disorders. It will also promote body positivity among these students. This program aims to provide resources for not only the students but also the community.
