Hi everyone! My name is Chris and I’m a junior transfer studying electrical engineering and computer sciences at UC Berkeley! I did not know anything about my major until I started community college, and ever since then I’ve fallen in love with applying my problem solving skills to many challenging domains.

Prior to transferring to UC Berkeley, I was involved in undergraduate research through the Transfer-to-Excellence Summer Research Program. Additionally, I spent a year gaining work experience through internships in the field of software engineering before transferring. I’ve been a strong believer in supporting the diverse transfer community at UC Berkeley ever since I met awesome transfers and my closest friends through the Transfer Pre-Engineering Program. I also recently started EECS Transfers at Berkeley, a student organization dedicated to supporting all transfers interested in the field of electrical engineering and computer sciences at Berkeley. In my free time, I love going to concerts, working out at the gym, playing video games, exploring Berkeley and trying out new sports!

Feel free to talk to me about anything, and especially the following:
• Internships and resumes
• Undergraduate research opportunities
• Time management, study habits, study groups
• Class schedules
