Q. What made you get involved with The Mosaic Center as a Diversity Educator Intern?

I wanted to try something new and learn about different people's perspectives on issues.

Q. What might someone be surprised to know about you?

When I was little, I invented another planet called Weird-O-World and used to go around giving speeches about how awesome it was.....I was a strange kid. Also, I am a shopaholic.

Q. When you aren’t performing DEI duties, what are you most likely doing?

I am most likely in class, at work, listening to music, eating, or sleeping. That sums up my life.

Q. How would (someone) describe you?

Someone close to me would describe me as hard working, and caring (I hope).

Q. What do you wish other people knew about The Mosaic Center?

It is a public space, you can come in and eat lunch, do homework or just relax.

Q. What would you say are some of your strongest beliefs about diversity?

Diversity is something to be proud of, that a bunch of people with different beliefs or even appearances can live and cooperate with each other.

Q. What's your personal philosophy on what should be done about promoting communal diversity and inclusion?

It should be our duty as human beings to make others feel a part of the community and respect who they are, and try not to change them. Everyone has something to offer.
