Hello! My name is Clarice Galvez, a senior Social Work major with a minor in Psychology. I was born and raised in Waipahu, Hawaii. I absolutely love and miss Hawaii's beautiful beaches, stunning sunsets, local food and island music.
My interests are traveling, taking advantage of Seattle's wonderful shopping, watching the latest movies, and spending quality time with my friends. At SU, I've been involved with the Peer Health Action Team (PHAT), the United Filipino Club, Hui O Nani Hawaii, and the Social Work Club.
