Iris Crowe-Lerma - Program Coordinator

Background: I graduated from UC Santa Barbara (go gauchos!) with a degree in Communication and a minor in Exercise & Health Science. During my time at UCSB, I participated in a peer health education group called, Students Teaching Alcohol & Other Drug Responsibility (STAR). It was during that time that I developed an interest and passion within health and wellness programming. After graduation, I moved to San Diego and worked for the Associated Students at San Diego State University, where I assisted in the coordination and execution of various special events throughout each year. I eventually fell into the wonderful position I currently hold here at UCSD, combining my interests in health, wellness and programming, and couldn't be happier.
