Currently, I’m completing my graduate education at America’s premier public institution—the University of California Berkeley.

Fire trail
What is your favorite place to go in your city? I love hiking through the forest at the University of California, Berkeley. It’s a little distance from campus. A stream ran across the trail, and I could smell the wet clay. There are numerous bird calls and when sunset arrives, it’s something else! The sunset… Continue reading Fire trail

What are you doing this evening? This evening, I will be reading at one of the libraries at UC Berkeley. I’m working on several research essays and, at the same time, preparing for seminars and upcoming conferences. I will meet with some of my mentees afterward to catch up with them.
