About

Hi, my name is Kenia Ardon, and I am a third-year student at UCSB, double-majoring in Biological Anthropology and Sociology. I enjoy giving back to my community through service and supporting underserved populations. I've served with the Center for Elders’ Independence (CEI), a nonprofit health care provider that empowers at-risk people in the East Bay to live independently. Through this experience, I developed a strong interest in working with the aging population and may pursue an MSW and LCSW to continue serving this community. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, and working on craft projects.
