Executive Director
Karlie Powell
(she/her)
Year: Sophmore | Major: Computer Science |
About Me: I am a freshman at University of New Mexico and I'm from Dallas, Texas. In my free time, I enjoy reading and crocheting. My favorite genres to read are romance, fantasy, and sci-fi. My favorite book right now is Legendborn by Tracy Deonn. I've been crocheting my whole life because my mom forced me to learn when I was younger, but I never really crocheted anything until it blew up on TikTok. I have about a dozen half-finished crochet projects, but I really enjoy making cute tops and stuffed animals for my friends and family!
