Bibi Sara Naibi

Hello Aggies!

My name is Bibi Sara Naibi, and I am a third-year engineering student at UC Davis.

If there is one thing my experiences have taught me, it is that being a student is about much more than attending classes, earning grades, and receiving a degree. It is also about finding your community, overcoming challenges, discovering opportunities, and having people who believe in you along the way.

I currently serve as a Student Health and Wellness Liaison, a Student Cabinet Leader representing the MENASA Student Resource Center, and the Women in STEM Project Leader at the UC Davis Global Hub. I also work as a Research Assistant at the UC Pavement Research Center.

Although these roles may seem different, they all have one thing in common: people.

Through my work, I have met students who are incredibly talented but feel overwhelmed, students who need support but don't know where to find it, and students who have important concerns but aren't sure whether anyone is listening.

These experiences have shaped my understanding of leadership.

I believe leadership is not about being the loudest person in the room. It is about making sure everyone else has an opportunity to be heard.

My priorities include improving access to student health and wellness resources, advocating for academic and financial support, strengthening student representation, expanding mentorship opportunities for women in STEM, and encouraging transparency in student government.

As an engineering student, I have learned that solving a problem begins with understanding it. I believe the same principle applies to student government. Before proposing solutions, we must listen to the people experiencing the challenges.

I don't believe one person can solve every problem. But I do believe one person can start conversations, build connections, and bring people together to create meaningful change.

My goal is to help create a UC Davis where students don't just attend classes but feel that they truly belong.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about me.
