Hello! I’m Ben, a Master of Public Policy student at UC Berkeley’s Goldman School. Before grad school, I was the Policy Manager at the Partnership for Children and Youth, where I led the CA Afterschool Advocacy Alliance. I’m passionate about early childhood education, economic development, and California state policy. I’m a proud community college transfer student (go Chabot Gladiators!) and UC Berkeley alum. I live in Berkeley with my partner and our dog, Taco.
