Administrative Coordinator for the SEED Scholars Honors Program
How long have you been at Berkeley?
I have been working at UC Berkeley since April 2022. I started as a Financial Literacy Advisor with DSP Scholars in the Disabled Students’ Program. In August 2024, I had the incredible opportunity to join the SEED Scholars Honors Program team.
What do you love most about working here?
What I love most about working here is the community. Building connections with students and staff across campus keeps me rooted and recharged. I love being in a space where I can bring my full self to work, where my experiences and values are respected and appreciated. I especially value the opportunity to support students through their academic journey because years ago, others showed up for me, and now I get to pay it forward.
What's your job?
I am the Administrative Coordinator for the SEED Scholars Honors Program.
What's a great day at work look like for you?
A great day starts with a cinnamon bun and a cup of coffee for that caffeine and energy boost. I check emails while walking on my walking pad, aiming to hit my 10k steps for the day. I like making steady progress on tasks and staying on top of my deadlines using my task tracker spreadsheet. Between meetings, I enjoy tidying up my inbox, calendar, and Google Drive. And when I am on campus, I love running into other staff—it always makes the day better.
Where's your favorite place on campus?
My favorite place on campus is sitting near Strawberry Creek; I love listening to the water flowing. It is a peaceful spot that helps me slow down and recharge.
Fun fact about me:
I enjoy tending to my backyard micro farm, where I grow organic vegetables and care for a small fruit orchard. I love watching anime, reading manga, sipping tea, and spending time with my cat during my downtime.
