Matthew De La Cruz

Pronouns: He/him
Major: Electrical Engineering & Computer Sciences
CCC: College of the Canyons
Post graduate plan: I want work with renewable power systems and help make the electric grid cleaner and more sustainable. I am interested in working in power utility companies to fulfill this goal, as well as various government agencies that help to oversee the field.
Fun Fact: I almost died during a hike in Yosemite.

I am a history nerd from Santa Clarita who loves hanging out with friends, learning about history, and exploring new places. I watch movies and shows with my family regularly and we have two cats back home, Sinatra and Bandit. My favorite historical period is the era of Atlantic Revolutions, bookended by the American Revolution and the Latin American Wars of Independence. I hope to be able to explore the hiking trails around Berkeley and the Bay Area during my time at Cal.
