About
My name is Preston Anway. I'm a psychology major at the University of Arizona with a passion for rural health. Growing up in a rural community in southeastern Arizona, I witnessed firsthand the need for mental health services. My ultimate goal is to become a school psychologist for a rural school district, helping build healthy futures for students. My passion has inspired a 4.0 GPA.

I orchestrated a community food drive and innovated the process. Instead of having a donation center, I offered a pick-up service from people's homes. Respondents were thrilled, donating more than 500 lbs. of food. As a result, the food pantry was able to feed families and combat food scarcity in the area. Seansonal (mainly november-december).
