Biography

I’m a fourth year majoring in Geography and Urban Studies with a minor in Sustainable Design! In my time at Berkeley I’ve been fortunate enough to have taken a variety of wonderful classes, assisted and initiated research projects, studied abroad, been a UGSI, and participated in some amazing decals. Though my academic focus is in human and cultural geography—and interdisciplinary social sciences more broadly—I can offer some insight into navigating the department, college, and university more broadly.

Below is a list of the courses I’ve taken with our Geography Department, though I’m also happy to recommend classes (and decals!) in City and Regional Planning, American Studies, Landscape Architecture, ESPM, and a handful of other departments.

  • GEOG C32: Introduction to Global Studies
  • GEOG 80: Introduction to Geospatial Technologies: Mapping, Space, and Power
  • GEOG 138: Global Environmental Politics
  • GEOG C160: The American Landscape: Place, Power, and Culture (also UGSI’d for this course twice!)
  • GEOG 165: Geographies of Race and Ethnicity in Latin America
  • GEOG 181: Urban Field Study
  • GEOG 189: Visual Geography
  • GEOG H195A and H195B: Honors Thesis
  • GEOG 375: Pedagogical Practices in Geography
