Alex Moon is a recent alumna in Psychology and Edible Campus Program Coordinator here at UCSB. Originally from South Korea, Alex moved to Lancaster, CA at the age of 15 to the States. At Antelope Valley College, Alex experienced the hardships of being a first-generation college student and used this newfound interest in order to co-establish and coordinated a mentorship program to promote academic and overall success. Upon transferring to UCSB, his further exposure to mental health issues, cultural divisions, and food insecurity in college students is what ultimately resulted in his passion for helping to expand upon the campus’ network of gardens in order to help aid struggling students. Alex is exploring the migration of culture in global scope and would like to emphasize on the global phenomena that Korean pop culture is creating all in the United States.
