Mann, a sophomore biology major, is also a Houston native. Mann is a LeaderShape graduate and has participated in the Rising Researchers program and the Honors Intentionality and Sustainability Study Abroad program.
Mann’s platform involves initiating a pro-wellness community-led effort known as Pro-Wellness Roadrunner Field Day.
