Spring 2021
The internship that I did this semester is with my organization on campus named the Food Association at Berkeley. Our main goal is to gather like-minded individuals who are passionate about food. Our three main pillars are education, initiative, and social space. We wanted to have an inclusive organization on campus that aims to build a deeper understanding of food and its systems. We made this possible by inviting professionals, business owners, and professors in the food industry to help us educate ourselves about food and its systems. We did 3 pro-bono consulting throughout the year to help out small businesses who are struggling as part of our initiative. Lastly, we had some social events that helped our members gain connections in an online setting that helped them get through these hard times.
