Hello, I am a BA Sociology graduate from San Francisco State University, and have lived in both the City of San Francisco and Los Angeles County (USA). Until Autumn of 2013, I am taking on postgraduate MA studies in Global Justice at The University of Sheffield (UK). A few major interests of mine are computers, mobile technology, human rights, and political/social activism.
I have been classified as someone with a leadership mind-set who is very dedicated towards the advocacy of human rights, social welfare, and global equality. At the moment, I am monitoring the labour and student movements across the UK.
At this internship, I have worked with fellow student colleagues, formed student organisation coalitions, and recruited/trained volunteers to influence SFSU faculty & administration to stabilise tuition fees and reduce university textbook costs.
