Tell us a little about yourself?

I am currently a UC Berkeley student, pursuing a simultaneous degree in Political Science (BA) and Environmental Economics and Policy (BS). I’m really passionate about organizing in social and environmental justice spheres. I love gardening, film, comedy, and music. I’m interested in using policy as a tool to create change in systematic inequalities rather than a driver of them.

What is your dream job? What kind of impact do you hope to make?

Host of the Daily Show, using a platform to education and call people to action, while also providing comedic relief.

If you could have dinner with anyone in the world (deceased or alive), who would it be and why?

Timothee Chalamet just because I love him. I want to ask him questions on navigating life and feeling like your destined for greatness.

Who is your favorite public servant and why?

Grace Lee Boggs, I don’t think there are many Chinese American activists who are noted for their work. I am really inspired by her work
