Hola Amigos!

Hello everyone! My name is Daniel Curiel, I'm 20 years old and have grown up in Arizona my entire life. I'm a History major with a minor in Prelaw at the University of Arizona. My interests include international politics, futbol, jamming out on my drumset, guitar and keyboard, and basically learning about the world and all the beautiful people that comprise it. The Southwest has definitely shaped who I am and what I hope to achieve in the future. My parents are both Mexican immigrants, my mom coming from the North and my dad from the South. Because I'm a first generation child of immigrants, I grew up speaking both Spanish and English, a skill that has served very handy here in the Arizona-Sonoran desert. I'm very interested in U.S.-Mexico relations, especially along the border since it's always been my home. Through the course of my life I have witnessed the fierce militarization of the border which has only empowered me to seek solutions based on social justice and equality. These interests in human rights led me to a very important movement, the feminist movement. I became a feminist every since I realized I loathed double-standards and backwards thinking. Most importantly, a very special woman made me fall in love with the theory and the good it would do for the world.  I hope to bring my knowledge of feminist theory and social justice into action as an intern here at the WRC. I'm hopeful we will move forward in the struggle for equality!

Hey all!

Hi everyone! My name is Laura Neff and I am a sophomore majoring in environmental science at the UA and a new intern at the Women's Resource Center! I am part of the Film Series and Educational Programming Committees. I know this internship does not necessarily fit my major, but science is not my only love. I grew up in Phoenix and worked on many social issues with a non profit called Peer Solutions for many years. Now I am proud to continue my work in Tucson! As a freshmen living on campus, I couldn't wait until each new WRC film came out and would use those Wednesday nights as a friend's night out. Now, I am extremely excited to participate in program that put on these wonderful films.

Hi everybody !

My name is Angelique Owczarzak, and although my family name sounds Polish, I'm definitively French ! I come from Paris more precisely, and despite of all my love for my hometown, in 2010 I chose to migrate to the USA for a year ... The question that people always ask me is WHY ARIZONA ?? Good question. Actually, I needed change ( and I got it ! ). I thought that if I wanted to know better America, I had to go to the deep, deep part of it. Since I also love beautiful landscapes and was curious about the Wild Wild West legends, Arizona proved to be the ideal destination, didn't it ? And let me tell you : I don't have any regrets. I have fallen in love with Tucson and its nice people, much nicer than Parisian people !
My major is political and social sciences and I have always been interested by feminism and political activism. This year was thus an opportunity to get committed while improving my English. I decided then to apply for an internship at the Women's Resource Center, and now I'm writing a presentation on me ! What I really appreciate about the Women's Resource Center in UofA is that I have the chance to defend women's rights while respecting everyone, including men. I also like the fact that the Women's Resource Center offers services, events and programs, which is a little bit different from the feminist organizations whose goal is only talking, talking about women's issues without acting.
Although I come back to France in June, I want to give a lot of myself to this organization this semester, as well as I can. Women in Europe are in some ways and sometimes kind of different from American women, and that is for me an opportunity to learn more about American women's issues.
Sorry for my English mistakes and I'm impatient to begin this semester with the Women's Resource Center's team ! A tres vite !
