Personal Statement

As a person of Indian descent born in China and raised in Singapore, diversity has always held a strong presence in my life. It became clear to me at a young age that diversity was indispensable to any successful organization, serving as a catalyst for innovative ideas and growth. Yet, when I looked at the institutions that governed my country, I was dismayed by the glaring homogeneity. In middle school, I developed an interest in social issues and public policy. I participated in Model UN and Debate, where I interacted with varied and opposing perspectives. In high school, I lobbied for the representation of alternative voices in Singapore's Parliament through an internship with the opposition Workers' Party. I carried this passion for diversity to UC Berkeley and used it to guide my work on campus. In the months leading up to the 2020 presidential election, I pushed to engage historically underrepresented groups in voter registration events, specifically out-of-state students and STEM majors. I strived to reach all corners of student life, contacting professional clubs, Greek organizations, cultural groups, and many more. My hope is to foster a generation of civic leaders that are as diverse as the communities they represent.
