Boozhoo. I am excited to have the opportunity to stay connected
to the Cal Native community, even after graduation.
I am originally from Saginaw, Michigan and my family is
Saginaw Ojibwe, Swan Creek and Black River Bands.
I migrated to California after joining Americorps
in the Summer of 2005. I was placed in Oakland, and
After a year of service I traveled down to San Diego
to attend junior college and work. I recieved my associates
in Cross-Cultural Studies and transferred to UC Berkeley
where I spent two amazing and grueling years.
I graduated with a degree in Peace and Conflicts Studies
and am currently in the process of applying to law school.
I owe much of my success and ambition to pursue "higher" higher education to the support
I received from my community at Cal.
I am always available to answer any and all questions you have,
whether they are about Cal or the law school application process,
or anything else. I look forward to hearing from you. Baamaapii.
