I'm a student at UC Berkeley. When not pursuing my degree in Political Science and Media Studies (May 2013), I consult for nonprofits with The Berkeley Group, design for The Daily Californian, and provide technical support for the EECS department. I'm always looking for new things to do or people to meet. Talk to me!
