Basic Needs Housing and Education Assistant
-
Sep 2021 - Present
Following my student positions at The Hub Basic Needs Center, I graduated from UC San Diego and was promoted to a professional staff position. As the Housing and Education Assistant, I focus on supporting access to safe and stable housing for students in our campus community. For example, by informing students of housing resources through their transition from on-campus to off-campus living. The main purpose of this position is to develop short-term and long-term strategies to address housing insecurity on campus. Additionally, I manage the Off-Campus Housing Website and facilitate the Basic Needs Peer Education Program.

My role as a Peer Educator at UC San Diego's Hub Basic Needs Center was to raise awareness on basic needs by engaging in educational outreach amongst diverse campus communities. After only a short amount of time into the role, I transitioned to the Basic Needs Peer Educator Student Lead position. As the Student Lead, it was my responsibility to provide leadership and guidance to the rest of the student staff team of Peer Educators.
