Portrait of Mark Armendarez

Student Leadership and Experience

I am heavily involved in the Economics and Business Student Association (EBSA)  where I was an entrepreneurship case competition mentor this past winter quarter. As a mentor, I guided a group of 5 members to develop a mobile tutor pairing application to be pitched to the judges.

Degree

I am currently pursuing a B.A. in Economics from UC Davis with a specialization in Policy and a Technology Management minor

Previous Work Experience

Governance, Compliance & Privacy Student Assistant at State Compensation Insurance Fund (State Fund). My day-to-day revolves around databasing but I have been given individual projects such as conducting a company-wide Intellectual Property Project to identify and catalog the various intellectual property that State Fund departments own and analyze protections and confidentiality status on such property.

  • Beyond my mom's home cooking, Chipotle has to be my favorite food

"As a transfer student, I have only been here at UC Davis for 2 years. However, my peers, the faculty, and the opportunities I have been exposed to since I transferred here have far beyond exceeded my expectations and I'll always be proud to be an Aggie."
