Hi, I'm Vinnie and I'm a Basic Needs Outreach and Marketing Coordinator for UCSB Thrive. I'm a Economics and Communication double major. I joined the team in the spring of 2023 after applying for CalFresh with the help of Basic Needs Advocates in the fall of 2022. CalFresh is super helpful for me and I joined the team to help spread awareness of CalFresh and the many other resources available to UCSB students. I'm also a part of the UCSB chapter of the American Marketing Association and a member of the Chinese Student Union. In my free time, I like listening to music, trying new foods with friends and working out.
