Basic Needs Peer Advisor & CalFresh Advocate
Psychology and Brain Sciences/ Applied Psychology
Hello! My name is Mirna and I am a fourth year majoring in Psychology and Brain Sciences with a Minor in Applied Psychology. I am from South Central Los Angeles and have had the privilege of working as a CalFresh Advocate and Basic Needs Peer Advisor for a year. During my time as a Peer Advisor, I have helped many peers and community members by connecting them to resources as well as applying to and navigating CalFresh. It has been incredibly rewarding in every way possible. I am very excited to continue contributing to UCSB and being an advocate of basic needs resources!
