Randolph, NJ

WHY I JOINED:

I joined the Aztecs Rock Hunger Leadership Team because I want to better support SDSU students and help ensure that no student has to worry about where their next meal is coming from. I aim to use my previous leadership experience to strengthen our relationships with the SDSU and San Diego communities, raise awareness about food insecurity and bring the community together to increase fundraising efforts for students in need.

College is already stressful enough without the added burden of food insecurity. Through ARH, I want to help provide students with the resources they need so they can focus on their education, their goals and their future rather than worrying about their next meal.

WHY I JOINED:

I joined the ARH Leadership Team because I wanted to take a more active role in supporting the SDSU community rather than just being part of it. Learning that so many students face food, housing,and financial crises, often quietly, made me realize how important programs like ECRT and the A.S. Food Pantry are.
