Evan is a senior at UC Berkeley majoring in public health. For the past couple of years he has been working in a soil microbiology lab and supporting development initiatives at the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism.  He took this past semester off to travel to Morocco to conduct research on the country’s new migration legislation, and to intern at a public health school in Spain. He is passionate about alleviating educational disparities and works as the finance director for the Mixed Student Union Recruitment and Retention Center (MSURRC), a campus organization dedicated to increasing the representation of underprivileged students of color in higher education. Evan is very excited to use his experience with grant writing and development to help support the HEAL Initiative fundraising and expansion efforts this summer!
