Lastest Hire

Hey! I'm Faith. I'm interning through the WRC and going to be on the Sex Education Committee. I'm a senior majoring in Sociology with a minor in Religious Studies. I'm passionate about preventative measures and I think Sex Education is imperative to the health of young men and women globally. I plan on using my Sociology degree to dissect and analyze society on a macro scale and use my knowledge to implement changes.
I consider myself an optimist and am passionate about social justice and equality. My hope through interning through the WRC is to obtain the appropriate tools to instill change where necessary.
I love being active and thrive when I am outdoors. I love to read, listen to and explore music, the arts in all shapes and sizes, food, yoga, and friends (among many other things). I anticipate this semester with the WRC to be very enjoyable, filled with challenges and events that will make it an exciting experience I will always remember.

Hola, Jessica aquí!

Hi my name is Jessica Whitson and I'm one of the new SECS interns at the WRC. I'm a junior currently majoring in Physiology with a minor in Chemistry and Spanish. I say currently because I think that's changing at the end of this semester. I'm going to major in Spanish! I have a passion for several things in life: Mexican food, sex education, grammar and spelling, Myers Brigg Type Indicator (ENFP for those of you who know what I'm talking about), the Beatles, scrapbooking, equal rights for all, and Facebook (not necessarily in that order). I'm a little crazy, very outgoing and hopefully if you see me around you'll say hi. I love meeting new people. I currently work for the Walt Disney Company out of their Florida location and yes, I am that crazy Disney girl. But here in Arizona, I work as an in-home senior caregiver.

This semester I'm really looking forward to getting started with things in our Sex Ed College Style program. I'm hoping to make a lasting impression with those students that we're able to speak to. I'm also looking forward to learning more about who I am, making some awesome friends and lasting connections with everyone.

Hope to see you around!

Celine here...

Hello everyone! My name is Celine Suarez and I am a volunteer here at the Women's Resource Center. I've been volunteering since July for the film series and I absolutely love it! I've been a feminist since I was in high school and I have Sylvia Plath and Kate Chopin to thank for that. I'm a creative writing major and am double minoring in media arts and Spanish. I am also a senior and probably won't graduate until next December (Why rush with this economy? =) ).That being said, I am a nerd of movies, novels, and dance! I've been dancing since I was five years old and can't get enough of it. My goal is to become a disney dancer one day and write a novel that is a literary masterpiece. I would also love to establish a career at BUST magazine. Any feminist should definitely check it out!

Some of my favorite movies are Kill Bill, Star Wars (the 80s ones), The Indiana Jones series, and pretty much any zombie or 50's movie. I love old school video games and would like to get rid of the stigma that girls can't play video games. There's even an awesome group called the fragdolls that have a whole bunch of female gamers who are much better at gaming than I am. But I promise I can win you over at old school mario! Other than that I am enjoying the nightlife much more since I've turned 21. So if you see me somewhere make sure and say hi! We'll talk nerdy! haha.

I'm baaaaaack! Meet... MALIA!

Hello...again! My name is Malia 'Anaukihesina 'Uhatafe (pronounce it correctly and we can be friends!). I am the student director and intern coordinator of the Women's Resource Center. I've been the co-director of the WRC since fall '08, and will be playing it solo with the help of our newly professional, full-time director-WOO HOO! This year, I will be helping out with all committees- but mainly focusing more on working with interns, event programming, Self Defense, Safe Walk, fundraising and grant writing.

I am a senior, graduating in may 2010. I am majoring in Religious Studies with an emphasis on Judaic Studies, and Theology/Philosophy. I would like to start my own non-profit organization for young women-- I would also like to be the first female Prime Minister of the Island of Tonga (where my parents are from)-- but, as much as I like to plan important events in my life, my career is not one of them.
A perfect day for me would be, waking up around 8-9am (I'm a morning person), making breakfast and coffee, and sitting outside enjoying my food and beverage while reading the New York Times. I would spend the entire day in my PJs, reading a book, watching the complete season of one of my favorite shows (Arrested Development), or watching a bunch of films with a particular theme (Wes Anderson films). In the evening, I would go out for dinner, a place with a happy hour menu thats kind to my wallet, be with friends, laugh, create inside jokes, and laugh more.
I'm passionate about social change. I'm a proud feminist, dedicated to gender equality, and seeing people as solely individuals- human beings.

I am looking forward to getting to know this semester's interns and how their passion in feminism will shape the Women's Resource Center!

Yay, Feminism!

Tai Dietrich!!! *Hooray!*

Hi! My name is Tai and I am a new intern at the Women's Resource Center at The University of Arizona. I am a film series and media/technology intern and I hope to make students on campus more aware of the services that the WRC can provide them. I am currently a Religious Studies and Political Science Junior and I plan on getting my Master's in Religious Studies as well as a law degree. After college, I plan on becoming a diplomat or some kind of human rights attorney. My hobbies include learning/trying new things, watching documentaries, writing, and stalking people on Facebook (LOL). Other interests include ethics, mixed martial arts, world travel, languages, art, fashion, Middle Eastern smoking devices, and body modifications (i.e. tattoos and piercings). I am really looking forward to making a lasting contribution at the WRC and I also hope to make some life-long friends here. :]

Some Tai fun facts:
I love being barefoot!
I have OCD tendencies (i.e. Alphabetizing things, etc.).
I am missing a bodily organ!
I've been to Korea, France, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, and Australia.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE hugs!

The newbie intern, Elizabeth!

Hello there! This is Elizabeth Ortega. I am a senior studying Sociology and Anthropology, almost done! I will be interning here at the one and only Women's Resource Center for Fall 2009. My role will include helping plan and develop the amazing events that the WRC puts on throughout the year. I will be involved with the film series committee and perhaps a bit in Sex Education. I am a feminist who is ready to work with a team of like minded individuals to promote awareness and education. Let's see... when I'm not working, schooling or interning, you can find me camping, hiking, rock climbing, reading at cafes, roaming around Barnes and Nobles, making jewelry, altering my clothing, watching movies or playing video games.
