About

I am a second-year law student at the University of California, Berkeley, with an interest in labor and employment law. I am also a proud and active member of the labor movement, with experience as an elected officer, staff organizer, and rank-and-file union member. Currently, I serve as Senior Executive Editor of the Berkeley Journal of Employment & Labor Law and lead the Berkeley Law and Organizing Collective. I also work as a tutor for Berkeley Law's legal research and writing program, a position unionized with United Auto Workers Local 4811, the union of 60,000 academic, student, and professional workers across the University of California. In summer 2026, I served as the law clerk for Operating Engineers Local Union No. 3, the largest construction trades local union in the United States.

I graduated from UC Berkeley with high distinction in 2025 with bachelor's degrees in mathematics and computer science. My academic interests were in theory and logic, but I spent most of my undergraduate career involved in the practice and research of pedagogy. I was active in UC Berkeley's rich undergraduate computer science teaching community, serving as a teaching assistant for six semesters, doing research in the ACE Lab, and serving as President of Computer Science Mentors, UC Berkeley's largest teaching-focused student organization. Like most in the department, I strongly believed in improving the quality of instruction by raising staffing levels and working conditions for academic workers; it was as an undergraduate that I got my start in the labor movement by negotiating a local agreement for the 700 undergraduate workers employed to teach computing courses. Subsequently, I was a department steward and head steward for UAW Local 4811. In those roles, I helped raise membership in my department to over 70% and handled dozens of grievances and wage claims to deliver hundreds of thousands of dollars back into my coworkers' pockets. I also worked as a staff organizer for the International Union, UAW, to help unorganized workers join the labor movement.

I was born and raised in Palatine, Illinois, a suburb about 25 miles northwest of downtown Chicago. I have written and edited the news for The Daily Californian, the independent, student-run newspaper of record for the city of Berkeley. My favorite activities include talking politics, photography, biking around Berkeley, crosswords, and building cool things online.
