I got into progressive politics my first year in a four year college, I was a community college transfer in the UC system. In high school and in community college,  I was unaware of the political opportunities that were available for me to pursue at the time, but simultaneously was more focused on a financial driven path. In my first year of college I joined a Democratic club, which introduced me into an array of different progressive politics. I joined numerous progressive local campaigns in the General election of 2022, our team helped increase voter turnout by a margin of 14% in the Santa Barbara area during voter registration, and saw a sweep of progressive victories in the County. After my time on campaigns, my team and I went to form two organizations at our university, Students Demand Action and a Labor Caucus, both of these organizations have grown to have over thirty members, with each organization participating and pressuring University administration to take action on issues regarding gun control and workers rights. Recently the labor caucasus who has been aiding and supporting dining workers at UCSB to form their own union have seen a great success, forming the Student Dining Labor Union – UAW in 2023.
