Semona Igama

Semona Igama is currently a junior majoring in Microbiology at the University of Arizona. She will be closely working with committees such as sex ed., self defense, and safe walk. Semona recently transfered from Saipan, Northern Marianas Islands, which is a beautiful island in the Pacific. Google it! There she was apart of a teen program called Teen Talk, which was sponsored by the local Public School System. The program aimed to educate students in high school as well as in junior high to deal with topics such as sex/health education, violence and suicide prevention, and among other teen issues, LGBTQ awareness. She is excited to take on the next level of sex/health education by becoming an active member of the Women's Resource Center, and sharing what she has learned back home while learning something new. She enjoys being apart of an energetic group who work hard, laugh out loud, and embrace women strength.

Xavier P.

What's up? I'm Xavier, and this semester I joined the WRC for the very first time, so like anything new to anybody, I am very excited. I don't have a picture to post in here, and I don't feel like writing a thousand words (as these would most likely be nonsensical), yet here is what you need to know about me: I don't much care about my future plans right now, so instead of changing the future I seek to change the present. This is why I joined the WRC. I have a couple of majors. And I have a job. But to me those things are only a distant second and third to finding tacit adventures waiting on the road. And I hope this internship will be one.

Becky - Again!

Hello! My name is Becky Butler and this semester I will be coordinating Self Defense classes - get excited! I am a junior majoring in Psychology and minoring in whatever I feel like at the moment. Currently, I am on a quest to study dolphin cognition and hopefully my dream will come to fruition this summer courtesy of the United States Navy. I like to meet new people, go caving and generally have spontaneous adventures.

Fun Fact: I box! And my car is named Gilderoy after Lockhart in the Harry Potter series.
