Hi, my name is Sabrina Zavala and I am currently in my final semester here at UMKC. I am in the Bachelor of Health Sciences program with a minor in Exercise Science. I chose UMKC for a few reasons, but the number one reason was because of how diverse UMKC is. Coming into college, I never would have imagined being so involved and knowing a lot of people around campus. I enjoy getting to know new people and making new friends everywhere I go. I may seem shy and quiet at first, but once you get to know me, I won’t stop talking and laughing.
I chose to be the Violence and Prevention Intern at the Women’s Center this semester because I wanted to do everything I could to help support the women on our campus and in our community. I have volunteered with the Women’s Center multiple times throughout my college years and now I get to coordinate the events and connect with others involved on campus as well. The Women’s Center provides not only me but other women and students the support and inspiration that pushes us to continue every day, which is why I am excited to be interning at the Women’s Center this semester!
