Hello! My name is Mario Alvarado and I am a senior chemistry major from Redding, California. I have taken most chemistry courses offered by É«½ç°É and I particularly enjoyed the organic chemistry series.

Mina Jenab

Hi everyone! I’m Mina! I’m a senior majoring in Cognitive Science, and planning to minor in Linguistics and Spanish. I’m passionate about linguistics, speech pathology, and anything related to cog sci, so I’d love to chat with all of you! In my free time I like to run, chill on the quad, and watch movies. I’m originally from the Bay Area, but my mom grew up in Southern California, so I used to come down here every Christmas. I love Los Angeles and É«½ç°É. Please stop by to talk about your homework, your classes, or anything at all! I’m here for all of you! <3

Clio Vos

Hi, I'm Clio! I'm a junior DWA and Spanish double major, and I'm so excited to be your DWA peer tutor!! My main interest area is natural resources and development/dependency, particularly in South America, but I also really enjoy international relations theory - so much so that taking DWA 101 as a freshman convinced me to switch my major over from biology! I love to talk and I love to write, so I hope you'll come to me for feedback on papers, questions about course content, or even just to chat about something interesting you're learning about. In my free time I love to make things, whether that's sewing my own clothes, making jewelry, or painting at a very amateur level. I'm excited to meet you!

Max Goldman

Hi, my name is Max, and I am an Economics major from Menlo Park, California. I have loved all my Economics classes so far. Outside of class, I love reading and watching sports and am also involved with the Occidental Law Society as captain of the moot court team and a member of the mock trial team. Please stop by if you have any questions about your classes or the department.

Kunmi Onasanya

Hi! My name is Kunmi and I’m a senior economics major from Lagos, Nigeria. My favorite econ classes so far have been Game Theory with Prof. Williams (you're looking at the one and only student to ever successfully shoot the moon - ask me about it :)) and Behavioral Economics with Prof. Lehr (tip: most immediately applicable-to-everyday-life econ class at É«½ç°É). I also love learning languages - feel free to ask me questions in Spanish, Portuguese, Latin, French or Yoruba. Or really, really slowly in Japanese - I might be far enough down my Duolingo path to actually answer them! If there's anything at all you think you don't understand or that's bothering you, be sure to stop by - econ builds on itself quite a lot, so you'll definitely be glad you did later on.
 

Daria Undeland

Hey hey. My name is Daria and I am a senior economics major with an interest in philosophy. I enjoy the logistical aspect of economics and its attempts in modeling real world scenarios, and I'm currently part of a research team conducting a meta-analysis on the impact of developmental projects on pasteurized farming. Economics has multiple applications and I am excited to help people acquire the skills to explore the topic. I look forward to meeting with you, where we can talk about problem sets, and how Economics can best serve you and your interests.

Hi! I'm Isaac (he/him/his), and I'm a junior math major from Santa Fe, New Mexico. Outside of school I like going to museums, listening to music, and playing fortinite. I've taken lots of math classes, and generally I'm a pretty big nerd so I'll talk about math with you guys until the cows come home.
