Public policy student's worldwide roots motivate her to make a difference
Now a public policy student at UCLA’s Luskin School of Public Affairs, she is channeling that same energy into her studies, campus organizatons and experiences she's being offered, including an internship with the Clinton Foundation.
"I wanted to be really involved and be a part of the experience in a way that I didn’t really get to do as an undergraduate," explained Berridge, who received her undergraduate degree in journalism from Cardiff University in Wales. At the time, she aspired to be a broadcast journalist.
In addition to taking on several leadership positions through campus organizations, she’s a member of the Luskin Senior Fellows Program and a recipient of a fellowship from the Wasserman Foundation, which provides funding for exceptional UCLA Luskin students.
On top of her active involvement within the school, Berridge was also offered the unique opportunity to intern with the Clinton Foundation last summer. "The internship was a good, holistic program that offered a great deal of knowledge on topics I’m interested in," she said. "I really enjoyed the ‘brown bag’ events where highly accomplished individuals who worked in administration and the White House shared their insight on our work."
