Hi! My name is Arwen Hirsch, and I am an undergraduate at UC Davis majoring in linguistics and human development. While my career goal is to become a speech therapist, I am dedicated to lifelong support of Indigenous communities and their languages. As a research assistant at the NALC, I currently help contribute to the revitalization of Patwin through the digitization and transcription of archival audio files and field notes. I am a firm believer in communication diversity and am eternally grateful to be a part of this research that develops resources both respectfully and accurately.
