Treasurer

Iris is a Bay Area native and double bear, having completed her undergrad in integrative Biology at UC Berkeley! When she was in elementary school, she spent 4 hours with a tech at the optometrist's office trying to put in contact lenses for the first time -- and now the tables have turned. Iris looks forward to learning more about the wilder fields of optometry available, and the different possibilities that can be attained for students! Her current concern is trying to find the best matcha latte in Berkeley.
