I have been at UC Berkeley for three years, working at the Student Parent Center while completing my undergraduate degree.

I work as the Director of the Re-entry Student Program.
I have been at Berkeley for about four years. My first role was working with undergraduate students in the Physics Department. I then began my role in the Re-entry Student Program in September 2024.
