Carly Solberg

What’s up! My name is Carly and I am a third-year student here at SSU. I am majoring in women’s and gender Studies and my minor is in queer studies. I (really, really) love cats, passionate conversations about gender and driving to Bodega Bay when the sky is dark grey.

A huge piece of my identity is my gender; I am a nonbinary trans person and any pronouns work for me. I have met inspiring people at Sonoma State that have helped me become more thoughtful and empathetic. My journey at SSU has been one of self-exploration and hyper-involvement. In order to create a home for myself here, I went to events all over campus and pushed myself to be authentic when making friends; I encourage you to do the same! I am a Peer Mentor, a tutor at the Writing Center and a member of the Queer Student Alliance.

I am really looking forward to graduate school where I will pursue a master’s degree that will support my future of nurturing a more inclusive and educated society for my trans* family. If you see me around campus, please don’t hesitate to say hi!
