Greetings Everyone! I’m thrilled to serve as a Residential Assistant for SMASH: Berkeley for the third consecutive year! I was born and raised in Denver, CO, and recently graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Exercise and Sport Science from the University of San Francisco. In addition to working with LPFI and serving underrepresented students, I also have similar experiences while working with the Boys' & Girls' Club, College Track San Francisco, and the San Francisco Department of Public Health. I am very excited to be working with such a brilliant cohort this summer!

I am from Dighton, a small town in southern Massachusetts. I graduated from Dartmouth College with my B.A. in Environmental Studies in 2008. While at Dartmouth, I did micrometeorite research and was a research assistant for a professor in the Latin America and Caribbean Studies Department.  After graduating, I spent the year in Nicaragua as a Reynolds Scholar and worked with a nutrition program on the island of Ometepe. I am planning on going to medical school, and recently completed the pre-health post-baccalaureate program at UC Berkeley Extensions.

Hello everyone! I’m extremely excited for the opportunity to work with such bright and promising students!  To briefly introduce myself, I was born in a refugee camp along the border Cambodia and was raised in Hayward, Ca. Upon graduating high school, I attended the University of California Berkeley where I received my degree in American Studies. I later went on to receive a master’s degree in Education and Organizational Change from the University of California Los Angeles.

Hi ! My name is Margo, and I am excited and honored that I was chosen to be a member of the SMASH staff.

As the old witch stepped up to the stake to end her life, she looked up to Uther and said: “There will come a time when this fire shall not touch innocent souls. Many years from now, a generation of powerful individuals will mark the end of an era and the beginning of a fair world. ‘Different’ shall no longer be damned, but instead appreciated”. The witch died and her soul shattered into pieces. Twenty five years ago, in Tijuana, Mexico, part of that soul was reborn in the body of a boy. It was revealed to this particular individual that there were many more like him.
