Danny Thant
Major: Psychology About MeHello! I am Danny who’s pursuing my dream in Cognitive Science to work with animals! I grew up in Burma when I decided to move to San Francisco a year ago. I like to be very active on campus as I am serving as Tri Chair for ASSC as well as working as a Peer Tutor for WRL. I love talking to people and being present in the moment. When I started at Skyline College, I wish I had known:I wish I opened up to myself more to what Skyline College has to offer, that finishing classes and doing homework is not the end of college. There’s so much organization, clubs, events to be a part of that is not only necessary to build a community, but also to enrich and absorb our mind with knowledge.

My Strengths:
What I enjoy outside of academics:Outside of academics I love experiencing movies on the largest screen possible, discussing them in great detail and analyzing them. You will always see me catching weekly releases in theatres every Thursday. Aside from movies, I love going hiking to places I haven’t been. I love being out and about, connecting myself with nature whatever chance I can get. It never fails to reset my mind and I like to invite my friends to my outings.

Rhema Bethany
Major: Urban Psychology About MeHello! My name is Rhema, and I’m an unconventional student who worked for two decades across seven industries before deciding to return to school as a first-generation, re-entry student. I’m pursuing Urban Psychology with interests in urban design, public policy, and social neuroscience. As a Peer Mentor, I love supporting students by helping them discover resources, set goals, and navigate their emerging identity both inside and outside academia. When I started at Skyline College, I wish I had known:I wish I had realized how easy it is to get help, and how willing people are to show up for you when you need support. Professors, librarians, and mentors aren’t just resources. They become partners in your success when you share your goals and challenges openly. 3 words to describe me:
My strengths:
What I enjoy outside of academics:I love creating community spaces, working on my book, going on road trips along coastal towns, and decorating my space with plants and unique finds. I’m also drawn to reading about urban design and the psychology of cities often paired with people-watching as inspiration. You’ll often find me journaling in a library corner or connecting with others over coffee. I also enjoy yoga, spending time with dogs, and unwinding with paint-by-numbers.
