Erin Peltzman

Pronouns: She/Her

Hometown: San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles

Building: Tercero South, Orchard Park, The Green

About: I’m a So Cal kid. I attended UC San Diego and the University of Georgia. I love the beach, live music, college football, playing games on my phone, and listening to podcasts (I can recommend some, but if you have recommendations, let me know!).

Devon Walker

Pronouns: She/they

Hometown: Columbus, Georgia

Building: Tercero North

About: Hi y’all, welcome to Davis! I’m excited to help support the Tercero community this year. I grew up a military kid but spent most of my childhood in Georgia. I attended Georgia Southern University and spent about a decade working in Connecticut before moving to Sacramento for this role! I love traveling to see family in RI and SC and exploring new places. I spend most of my downtime reading, escaping the heat at the pool, or binge-watching a new show (dimension 20 is my current fave). I'm passionate about helping students in their transition to college by advocating for their needs, providing accountability in our housing community, and assisting in navigating our resources at our university!
