Rafael Diaz
I'm a chemical engineering major graduating in June. I'm from the San Fernando Valley in LA. I got into chemistry after my teacher in middle school let me light a whoosh bottle in class. Outside of lab, I love hitting the gym and cooking up tasty dishes.

Jack Garner
I took my first chemistry class during my sophomore year of high school. I didn’t touch chemistry again until my freshman year of college during COVID-19. I decided to switch my major to chemistry after taking the first general chemistry course at UCSB, and realized it was the only course that made me happy while reading the textbook. I want to thank every chemistry instructor I’ve had the privilege to learn from: Mrs. Berger, Dr. Joseph, Dr. Van Koppen, Dr. Sylvester, Dr. Lewis, Dr. Anyika, Dr. Gainer, Dr. Read de Alaniz, Dr. Huber, Dr. Little, Dr. Carlini, and Dr. Léonard. There is always more to learn and appreciate.
