I attend the University of California, Davis where I study Sociology with an emphasis in Law and Society, along with African and African-American studies. After finishing my four years at UC Davis, I plan on either going into Law or following the Graduate school approach to earn my Ph.D in order to instruct at he college level. I am passionate about photography and waiting for the opportunity to showcase my skills.

I have been employed by Starbucks as a certified Barista and just recently accepted a job offer from the City of Davis and UC Davis bus transit system, Unitrans and have begun rigorous training sessions. Although this is hard work, the fun that I have behind the wheel is inexpressible. Even with two jobs, I continue to excel academically, proving to the Berkeley Community Fund, that I merit their investment in my education.
