Sarahi Vassallo

Guardian Princesses Intern 2017-2018

“My experience with this organization and Professor Setsu Shigematsu has been one of the best decisions I made during my undergraduate years. I was immediately welcomed by Professor Shigematsu and eventually became the President of the organization for my last three quarters of my senior year. This organization gave me and other interns the opportunity to create a program called, Be Your Own Kind of Beautiful, for middle school girls. With the full support and guidance of Professor Setsu Shigematsu we were able to build a strong foundation for this program and branch out into middle schools in the Riverside District. Professor Setsu Shigematsu has created a safe and welcoming environment, which only motivated us to put our best effort in the responsibilities she entrusts us with.”
