Hi! My name is Jinxxy, and I'm a Graphic Design Major here at UWEC. I joined PDE to become a better educator and advocate. I love all varieties of games- card games, board games, videogames, and puzzles! You can tend to find me buried in one almost any time I have free time."

Hello! My name is Sara, and I am a Psychology major with minors in Sociology and WGSS. I joined PDE not only to help educate others about social justice issues, but to help myself learn and become a better advocate for underserved communities. My two favorite things are a good book and my dog, Rosco!

My name is Scout McKnight. I am an illustration major at UWEC. A reason I joined PDE was to expand the social justice knowledge of others as well as myself. A couple of fun facts about myself are I enjoy making comics and illustrations. I also have two cats named Gibbs and Sherlock.

Rosemary Gosseck-McNeal
She/Her/Hers

I am a sophomore from Milwaukee, WI. I am majoring in English education and minoring in psychology. I joined the team of interns at PDE because I am passionate about incorporating equity, diversity, and inclusion into our campus culture and improving the overall climate. Outside of school, I care deeply about social justice and intersectional feminism. I try to do my part in advocating for social movements that push for reform in these areas.
