Vivian brings her experiences as a family member and working with people with I/DD as she hosts weekly bingo sessions for adults with I/DD and has been involved with disabilities studies research during her time at UCLA. Her research focused on conservatorship reform in the aging and I/DD community and SDM for adults with I/DD in healthcare settings.

Vivian earned her Bachelor’s in Microbiology, Immunology, and Molecular Genetics and Global Health at UCLA and her MPH in Health Education and Promotion at California State University, San Marcos. She is excited to bring her experiences to DVU to help ensure that people with disabilities retain their rights and are respected.
