Friendly​,​ involved Cal junior studying Econ excited to share life at Berkeley!

Hi! I'm Dani, a junior at UC Berkeley majoring in Economics and minoring in Spanish and French. Originally from Los Angeles, I've spent the past few years making Berkeley my second home, and I'd love to show you what makes this place so special! I'm very involved on campus, from being in a sorority and two consulting clubs to participating in an ethical finance organization and helping with marketing for a student-run record label. I'm especially passionate about the entertainment industry, and outside of class, you'll usually find me watching movies, listening to music, reading, or spending time with friends. I also love exploring the outdoors, discovering new spots around Berkeley, and attending events throughout the Bay Area! Whether you're curious about academics, student organizations, Greek life, or simply what it's like to be a student at Cal, I'm happy to share my experiences and answer any questions you might have. I'm friendly, patient, and always excited to meet new people. I'd love to show you my favorite places on campus and give you an honest look at what life at Berkeley is really like!

Describe your college experience

It was nice transitioning to college coming from a city like Los Angeles, where I had so many mutuals also going to CAL. I've been able to take advantage of so much at CAL, and I love the nature up here.

Tip for future students

Reach out to people to start building connections early so your transition is easier, and be open to new things.

COG SCI 175: Mind, Machine, Meaning I learned the psychology behind addictive technology and learned tools to balance my tech use with meaningful connection.
