Our President ♡
About: : Kaitlyn (she/her) is a 4th year Human Biology and Society major.
Why DFG?: “Especially with the rise in social media, a lot of today’s issues are presented as out of our control, causing many to feel overwhelmed or become complacent. So ultimately I joined Days for Girls because I admired the tangible impact this organization has been able to produce. I’ve felt empowered after joining the club and organizing events to increase the reach of Days for Girls throughout LA county. I am continuously inspired by my fellow board members and aim to strengthen our partnerships with local organizations focused on providing for the unhoused and displaced communities. If I could give any advice, I’d say that if you’re passionate enough about an issue, there is always a way to make a difference! You got this!”
EXTRA: She is a current member of the Senior USA National Karate team, Vice President of Dermatological at UCLA, and President of Jinen Kai Karate at UCLA. Kaitlyn also spends her time working as a medical assistant at a dermatology clinic in Torrance. She enjoys going to concerts, thrifting, and taking care of her house plants <3
