About

Ambassadors gain personal and professional skills by reaching out to local, national, and international communities. Outreach is done through managing high school and community college visits at Wurster, hosting prospective students on campus, panels, presentations, phone banking, Cal Day, development, use of multimedia tools, and more.

Allison Yang

I love art and I love math, and I thought architecture sort of combined the two, making it the perfect major for me! In my free time, I love to bake, and I really enjoy hiking Berkeley's many trails. In the future, I would love to work on international projects and travel the world.

Chadwick Bowlin

Hey! I'm Chadwick, 1st year SED major here. I'm super passionate about the intersection of building design and sustainability (Trombe walls and equity). I chose SED because I love the variety of classes I can take and the emphasis on research and design. CED is my home, and I am happy to show you around! On my free time, I love to watercolor and listen to podcasts - ask me about those things too.

 

Dani Solis

I'm very interested in the intersection between health and place, specifically concerning sustainable urban food systems. I've had so many opportunities to share my interests with my peers through my involvement in food discourse, and I am thankful to CED for giving me the chance to explore subjects I never would have before. One professional goal that encapsulates my interest in place and health is going to grad school to receive a joint Master's in Public Health and City Planning!

Garrett Seno

Hiiii~ My name is Garrett! Feel free to get to know me! I'm always ready to help any of y'all who need me. Just have free food and I'll be there. If I'm not in Wurster I might be on a run, a hike, or napping in a library.

 

Ghalia Ammar

I am pursuing a major in architecture in CED because I find it a gift to be able to see my ideas existing in real life through drawings and models. I am minoring in Sustainable Environmental Design to support my interest in Net Zero Energy buildings and natural lighting with architecture. When I am not in Wurster, I mostly listen to music or sing while doing other work because music takes me to a new world.

Nicole Roman

As an Architecture major and City Planning minor, my goal is to design more inclusive public spaces in cities. I chose CED specifically because the interdisciplinary nature of the college allows me to take classes across departments and gain a well-rounded understanding of the city. Outside of Wurster, I’m involved in a student organization that teaches dance at local after school programs, sponsors on-campus dance workshops, and teaches dance at retirement homes. I also love going on hikes with my dogs back home and listening to music, especially from animated Disney movies.

Shaun Lien

My interest in architecture is definitely rooted in traveling and seeing all kinds of cool buildings. I've been really into design and architecture documentaries recently but I also love watching movies in general. In my free time, I like to walk around in the city and take pictures of run-down, deserted houses (FUN!).

Stephanie Tang

As an architecture major, I am interested in developing an understanding of how adapting our built environment to combat climate change and social injustice can be accomplished simultaneously. I'm also interested in other branches of design, including graphic and web design. Outside of Wurster, I like to search for new food places in the Bay Area and go to concerts!
