PERSONAL BIOGRAPHY
​Hello friends! My name is Christian Kazianka and I am this year's Operations Director. I am a second-year undergraduate and I am currently planning on double majoring in Political Science and Psychology. I was introduced to MRRC when I attended Senior Weekend in the spring before my freshman year and subsequently became a K-12 Recruitment Intern and Community Development Intern, which is where I really got to know the staff and mixed community members on campus and the importance of the work that we do. MRRC has been one of the few places here that have offered me a space to be my true self, and I am honored to have been given the opportunity to offer this same sort of feeling to other students. I am almost always working (you’ll probably see me driving a little blue golf cart around campus lol), but if I do have free time then I like to spend it laying in bed watching Netflix, eating burritos or drinking smoothies, taking strolls around campus and Downtown Berkeley, or spending time with friends.
​
APPLY TO BE MY FELLOW!
