About Yourself: 

Hello friends! My name is Sierra Berg and I am a third year student from the East Bay. I am incrediby passionate about education and educational policy, on both the college level and the K-12 level. I am still figuring out where I'll go after my undergraduate, but I definetly know that I want to be working with students and advocating for equitable education. On campus, I am also a campus tour guide and mentor, as well as a writing tutor.

Fun Facts about yourself:

  • I love to backpack and hike whenever I have the time (My last backpacking trip was through Yosemite and I finally got to hike Half Dome!)
  • Giraffes are my favorite animal in the whole world, and it's not just because I'm tall
  • My favorite author is Maya Angelou
  • I have always dreamed of being a florist
