My name is Trevor Alu and I am a first generation Junior at UC Berkeley studying sociology, and plan to pursue a career as a Pediatrician. My top three favorite activities are hiking, petting dogs, and playing video games! My college admissions process was filled with twists and turns, as I started out at CSULB, changed career paths, went to community college, and eventually applied as a transfer in the UC system. Throughout that time, I have worked as an EMT, volunteered with community programs like KidWorks, and written many, many applications! I have lots of experience writing about healthcare, LGBTQ+ stories, and interdisciplinary studies!
