Peyton is going into her senior year at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where she is working towards a BS in Psychological and Brain Sciences with an Applied Psychology minor. She first began volunteering with PeerBuddies during her first year at UCSB, where she was a Peer Buddy for Social Skills Group. Since then, Peyton has volunteered in various Social Skills Groups and Private Sessions, both virtually and in person. Peyton began the onboarding process to become an RBT in March and was recently offically added to the PeerBuddies Team! Peyton feels incredibly lucky to be a part of the PeerBuddies Team officially! Her work over the last few years has been so gratifying and has allowed for her passion for helping others to only grow deeper. Peyton grew up in Salt Lake City, Utah, and is so grateful to have the opportunity to live in Santa Barbara and take in all of its beauty. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her loved ones, long walks in nature, and dipping in the ocean!
