STEM Role Models

Hello, my name is Vivian, and I am currently studying Astrophysics with a minor in Aerospace Engineering. A little about me: I volunteered at the Lawrence Hall of Science during the 2024 solar eclipse. I also love helping other students who come from similar backgrounds as mine, which ultimately led me to become a part of UC Berkeley's DCAC Early Academic Outreach Program (EAOP). I am also a member of the 2025 cohort of the UC LEADS program. Lastly, for fun, I love hanging out with my friends and trying new things with them.
 

Cal NERDS has been the greatest thing I’ve been introduced to at Cal. The community is absolutely
amazing—it truly feels like a family, especially in the Blue Room with my friends. It has helped me find
my place at Cal, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I’ve also learned about so many opportunities through
Cal NERDS that have contributed to my growth as a student. I’d like to sincerely thank the Cal NERDS
staff, Di, and Chris for giving me the chance to prove myself and my abilities. <3
