4th Year / Molecular Environmental Biology Major / With Berkeley Dining since 1st Year!

"At Berkeley Dining, I have found it incredibly fulfilling to work with my peers in an environment that teaches skills beyond those taught in lecture halls. As a student employee I have found that being a good leader often means finding a collective goal and encouraging everyone else to find purpose in it, and I have truly enjoyed contributing to a team effort here.

If I’m not at one of our amazing dining locations, you can (optimistically) find me taking myself for a run, finding a sunny bench to sit and think on, or taking a day trip to the beach. Realistically though, I’ll probably be doing homework, rediscussing the same subject over and over with a friend, or striving to maintain my inbox to 0 unread emails."
