Taylor Koshiol

Hi there! My name is Taylor Koshiol, and I'm a first-gen college student in my fourth year at UCSD, studying Cognitive Science Design and Interaction. I'm interested in all things design, programming, and user research! This is my third year serving as a Peer Advisor for Sixth College, and I am so excited about wrapping up my time at UCSD with more fun Advising tabling and events. I'm also a research assistant for the UCSD Comparative Cognition Lab and a Dialogue for Peace Student Fellow. Below you can find weekly tips, advice, and more from me!
