Rebecca is a fourth-year Revelle student majoring in human biology at UC San Diego. She joined SQ in her sophomore year and she stayed more or less for the biology memes. Human physiology is her favorite biology topic, and she will always be fascinated with the mechanism of breathing. In her spare time, Rebecca loves to try new recipes, read webtoons, and indulge in lattes and late-night desserts with friends.

Get to Know SQ

Name: Azzaya Munkhbat

Position: SQ Features Design Editor

Major: Cognitive Science, Specialization in Design and Interaction

Year: Junior

Why I joined SQ: SQ was the perfect way for me to work closely with research in an inclusive, collaborative environment while being able to build and improve my design skills. As a transfer student, all of the clubs and organizations on campus were overwhelming to me at first but I am glad to now be part of SQ as a Layout Designer and am excited for the year!

Fun fact about you:I love love neuroscience and any topic relating to the brain and its mechanisms. As a Cognitive Science major, I enjoy learning about the functions of the brain and its applications to my areas of interest, design and technology. Outside of academics, I love watching movies and tv shows, organizing my life, and planning future trips. I also love being active outdoors, which include playing tennis and hiking.

Favorite SQ project you've worked on:I have not worked on a SQ project yet (new to SQ) but I am looking forward to designing the SQ Features Section and working on the Winter and Spring Insiders!
