My name is Selena Anguiano and I’m a first generation student that is entering her final year as a Landscape Architect and Designer in UC Davis. My roots are derived from a quaint town in Mendocino County that is nestled between golden hills and tall redwood trees. My yearning for home and the comfort of my family’s garden made me realize the importance that physical space can have on the individual and society, and drove me to pursue Landscape Architecture and Design as my major. In the past years I have designed a courtyard in campus, private residence’s yards, created plans for low income apartments in Oakland and even a park in Oslo. I currently work as a landscape designer for Mark Thomas and enjoy spending my free time creating plans for private residences and studying plants. I strive to one day be a leader in a urban park movement where I could work with neglected communities/cities and incorporate parks for the people.
