Hello all! My name is Alayna Knarian, and I am currently a junior at Grand Valley State University in Michigan, where I am pursuing a major in Public and Nonprofit Administration as well as a minor in Spanish.

My passion is philanthropy, and I am very excited to be helping iFixit’s quest to help people and make the world a better place. I have also been volunteering for other nonprofit organizations, including Aqua Clara, which is an international entity working to provide sustainable water purification systems to millions in need, and Rotaract, which is a branch of Rotary International that allows for college students to serve both local and international communities. These experiences have been essential steps toward my goal of making the world a better place.
