Ryan Christian

Ryan ChristianMy name is Ryan Christian and I'm a senior studying economics and math. I'm passionate about helping others who struggle with mental health, as many important people in my life, including my closest friends and siblings, have been impacted by it. Being a peer educator allows me to do just that: help and understand the UNR community, and make a positive impact on the lives of others. I enjoy listening to a variety of music, including David Bowie, Bob Dylan, Sonic Youth, and Cigarettes After Sex, and while I'm particularly interested in psychology, business, and history, I always love learning about new things.
