Bio
Hello my name is Brenda Chavarin and I am a third year majoring in International Relations with a minor in International Agricultural Development. I transferred from Cosumnes River College in Sacramento, California. I plan to further my education by pursing a master’s degree and hopefully a Ph.D. I hope to pursue a career involving NGO’s and refugee camps.
 
Campus Involvement: At my previous college I was involved in Agriculture Ambassadors which was an agricultural education leadership organization. Further more I was also involved in the Political Science journal (Globus Mundi) where I was able to publish and present my writing. Now that I am at UC Davis I plan to be involved in various things such as Hispanic/Latinx organizations, recreational team sports, and various clubs that relate to my interests. 
 
Hobbies: Some of my hobbies include reading, crocheting, gaming and painting. In the past few years I have become a big fan of Kpop and try my best to go to any nearby concerts. 
 
Advice for transfer students and reentry students: Advice I would give students would be that everyone is on their own educational path just because someone is doing different things compared to yours does not mean you are behind or on the wrong path. Finally I would say to use as many opportunities available as possible, opportunities like this may not always be easily available so make good use of them.
