Hello! My name is Shaina Tudayan. I served in the United States Army for 4 years as a 68W, healthcare specialist. I was stationed in Fort Benning, GA and later deployed to Iraq for 9 months where I worked in an emergency room and an aid station. Currently, I am majoring in Biology Health and Society, while on a Pre-Health track. My hobbies include drawing tattoos, snowboarding, making oddly specific Spotify playlists, and weight lifting. My plans for the future are to be happy and to provide mentorship through this program ;)  (not like the military tho).

Hello! My name is Markiana and I am a senior studying Economics. I served as an avionics technician for the B-52H bomber in the Air Force at Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota. While here at the university, I have had the opportunity to work at the Environmental Protection Agency and GM Financial by utilizing the vast networking community. 

 In my free time, I enjoy playing pickleball, ultimate frisbee, and being active. After graduation, I plan on pursuing a career that utilizes my educational background in Economics and my passion for serving disadvantaged and vulnerable communities in the government.
