University Of California, Berkeley

Working in the office of Senator Amyrah Doty. Our department focuses on the relationships between labor organizations (such as unions) in the East Bay and students at Cal. A major goal for this semester is to cultivate stronger student support for worker democracy and create a direct link between the ASUC and union movements on campus.

Oakland, California, United States

Canvassed for the Save the Bees campaign through Environment California for a short time during the summer of 2023. I knocked on doors in Oakland, Berkeley, San Pablo, San Francisco, and San Rafael. I only worked with Environment California briefly so I could focus on my time abroad in Berlin, Germany, which began in July 2023.

Berkeley, California, United States

Founding member of a new political party in the ASUC. The party focused on combatting administrative austerity, supporting working-class labor struggles, giving students more control over their education, and uplifting voices typically ignored in student government. P@C operated from 2022 to 2023 before political parties were banned in the ASUC.

Berkeley, California, United States

Ran as a candidate under the Progressives at Cal ticket on platforms of transfer student prosperity, housing advocacy, inter-communal justice, and the protection of student services. I may not have won the election but our party did get a senator into office for the 2023-24 term, which counts as a win in my book.

Berkeley, California, United States

Worked part-time at the Berkeley store while studying at UC Berkeley for over nine months. This location has much more foot traffic than the Napa store, so more of my time was spent working with money, assisting customers, and writing orders.

Napa, California, United States

Worked part-time at the Napa store while in high school and community college for almost two and a half years. At TJ's, we divide responsibilities relatively equally, so I had experience managing registers, handling customers, stocking shelves, collecting carts, cleaning bathrooms & breakrooms, etc.
