3 lessons taught
My name is Emilie Zainub Moriswala, and I am a freshman studying society and envrionment at UC Berkeley! I am from Lincoln, CA, which is in the Sacramento area. I speak French and understand alot of Hindi. I love to film/edit/report in news videos, photography, creative writing/journaling, hiking, nature, environmental advocacy, travel with family/friends, and drive! The college application process for me last year felt daunting at first, but I stayed true to myself and abilities in my essays, thats what helped me the most!
