Rebekah is a fourth-year undergraduate student pursuing Ethnic Studies and Political Science. As a Latina student from Los Angeles County, Rebekah has a particular interest in Latine voting rights and government transparency work. This passion led her to her academic studies where she continues to learn about the intersection of ethnicity/race and participation in politics.
On campus, Rebekah has been involved in the Public Service Center's Cal in the Capital program, the Residence Hall Assembly, and as a Student Director for the Matsui Center fellowship, Pathways to Federal Public Service. Outside of class, she has served as a Legislative Intern for California Common Cause and as a Capital Office intern for Congresswoman Grace Napolitano. Both these experiences broadened her understanding of representation and the importance of civic participation.
This summer, she hopes to learn more about state election processes and policy during her time in Sacramento. Additionally, she aims to conduct research about the effects of civic engagement policies and strategies on Latinx voting patterns in Los Angeles County.
