FIG Assistant: Trinity Gallardo
Hello everyone! My name is Trinity Gallardo, and I will be the FA for the Science of the Good Life FIG with Dr. David McCormick. This is my third year returning as an FA and I love this program because it helps students find their way through the first year of college which can be exciting yet challenging. I bounced around between Biology and Psychology before I discovered that Neuroscience was what I wanted to study. When I graduate, I plan on going to PA school to continue my journey in science.
I was born and raised in Denver, Colorado and decided Eugene would be a great place to spend my undergraduate years. A few of my favorite spots in Eugene are 541 Sushi Bar, Meraki Coffee Co., and Spencer's Butte. Coming from such an outdoorsy state, I love snowboarding, hiking, and traveling. However, I did not learn how to snowboard until my roommate taught me a year ago! I have been to France and Italy, but Iceland is next on my bucket list. When I am not out and about, I love hanging out with my friends, reading a good book, or watching movies.
Going into my third year at the U of O, I still remember how helpful and awesome being in a FIG was my first year. I love being an FA and sharing whatever knowledge I have about college or life in general. I look forward to meeting everyone in the Fall!
