Why you wanted to be involved in NAIAC:
To amplify Indigenous voices! We've always advocated for our peoples and communities, but often while going willfully unheard. This committee provides a platform in which we give UC Davis administration no other option than to hear us and to listen.

Why you wanted to be involved in NAIAC:
My vision of being a representative is to be able to be a positive moving force for others. I want to be able to bridge some of the gaps in communication between our community and the chancellor and because of this, I chose to be involved in NAIAC.
