Team
Meet Your 2025 Board
The ASLA Student Chapter at UCLAx coordinates professional development, skill-building opportunities, and networking opportunites, organizes activities, and represents the student’s voice at faculty and curriculum committee meetings. Meet this year’s team!
Callie Ham – President
I’m a systems thinker, urban grower, and environmental advocate with a deep love for the outdoors. With a background in regenerative agriculture advocacy, I’m passionate about designing regenerative spaces and using landscape architecture to shift land management practices at scale.
As President of SCASLA, my goal is to strengthen pathways for mentorship, industry connection, and professional development—ensuring that every student feels confident and supported in taking the next step in their career by graduation. I welcome your ideas and feedback on how we can best make that happen for you!!
Bella Smith – Vice President
As nature lover, I have always found true happiness being outside. Creating beautiful and functional green spaces is the dream and I am so excited for my future as a Landscape Architect.
As Vice President I want to bring connection amongst students in our program. I quickly realized how much we students rely on each other, and I think having more connection with students throughout the program would benefit our educational journey, and our post-grad journey.
Tate Perrine – Secretary
I’ve worked as a maintenance gardener for most of my career, specializing in edible plants in urban landscapes. I joined the UCLA Extension program to transition from maintenance to design, with a focus on creating landscapes that help children build deeper connections with Southern California’s native flora and fauna.
As Secretary of the UCLAx SCASLA Student Board, I’ll document board communications, support student participation, and encourage attendance at the 2025 ASLA Conference in New Orleans—making the program more accessible and engaging for all.
Patrese Winter – Treasurer
Brazilian-born and rooted in creativity, my journey began in biology and evolved into film, business, and the founding of Beverly Hills Orchids. Now in my second year of the UCLAx Landscape Architecture program and after 18 years in Los Angeles, I’m passionate about designing spaces that foster connection, beauty, and well-being.
As Treasurer of the UCLAx Student Board, I help manage resources and support a collaborative, inclusive student community focused on a more sustainable future.
