Nicole (Nico) Naylor is a second-year EPM student, who has been working as the EPM outreach and administration student assistant. Nico specializes in Conservation Management and Environmental Data Science, but strives to be a well-rounded interdisciplinary environmental professional with experience in managing outreach, event planning, and administration. They grew up in Birmingham, Alabama, where they attended the University of Alabama at Birmingham, studying biology, with minors in chemistry and art studio. After working in a series of laboratory-based jobs, Nico wanted to pivot their career into the environmental field. With aspirations in the interdisciplinary, from event planning as a Resident Assistant to their art studio minor, UC Davis has allowed Nico to gain additional skills in policy, outreach, event planning, science communication, and administrative coordination, through new positions like the Event Planner for EPM’s Social Committee, the 2025 Annual One Health Symposium Planning Committee, and their current position as an outreach assistant in EPM. Outside of those responsibilities, Nico enjoys spending time reading, painting, playing games, and enjoying a good movie.

Dulles Hanula is finishing up his second year in the UC Davis EPM program, specializing in Sustainable Agriculture and Water Resources Management. He grew up in Pasadena, California before heading to New York to attend Fordham University, where he studied Political Science and International Political Economy with a minor in Environmental Studies. After working in different politically adjacent jobs like public relations and campaigning, he wanted to pivot his career to incorporate outside interests to become a more well-rounded professional. In his time at Davis, he has expanded his technical skills while getting involved in new things outside of academics. When he isn’t in the classroom, he spends his time gardening, playing soccer, hiking and enjoying the outdoors.
