Our Fall 2022 Intern Team!
José Cruz Lopez
Hey everyone! My name is José Cruz Lopez and I am a 2nd year communications studies major. Mental health is such an important topic for me because I believe it all starts with the mind. If the mind isn’t right, we aren’t either. In my free time I love to play volleyball, go out with friends, and listen to all sorts of music. I am very excited to take on this internship! I can’t wait to interact with students and be an advocate for mental health.

Nothing good ever comes easy
I know times are rough
but winners don’t quit
So don’t you give up.”

Rory Ferguson
Hello, my name is Rory Ferguson and I am a 4th year psychology student at Chico State. I joined UMatter because I am passionate about advocating for mental health. I love what UMatter stood for and heard amazing things about the program. I want people to know that they have a resource to reachout to find help with their mental health. I love to travel, spend time with family and friends, and watch movies. I am so excited to be a part of a program on campus that has the same views on mental health as I do.

Sabrina Bonnell
Hey, my name is Sabrina Bonnell and I’m in my junior year as a Psychology student at Chico State. I am joining Umatter because I believe taking care of mental health is very important and I want to make others aware that there are resources on campus that can help. I enjoy hiking and running in my free time. This internship will help me step out of my comfort zone and be more involved in campus life.

Lauren Goldberg
Hi there! My name is Lauren Goldberg (she/her/hers) and I am a fourth-year Psychology student here at Chico State. Outside of the classroom, I love to be in nature, listen to music, and binge-watch The Golden Girls! I was drawn to UMatter because I aim to be an active advocate for mental health and help to end the stigma that surrounds it. I am thrilled to have this opportunity to be a resource for my fellow peers and learn together!
