Meet our Staff!
Jorge Martinez - Operations Coordinator
Jorge received an Associates degree in Biotechnology from Berkeley City College. He also attended UC Berkeley in the 1990's and has a pending Music Degree. Jorge joined the Cal 1 Card team in August of 2009 after working for the Biotech industry for 13 years. As the Operations Coordinator Jorge is in charge of logistical work, specifically making sure that there is compliance with State and University policies and procedures. When he is not working hard in the Cal 1 Card office you can find him entranced by music. He plays several instruments and was part of a ten-piece band for six years called 'O-Maya'. His band not only recorded an album and toured, but was also voted the best world music band by the SF Weekly.
Pamela Haskins – Operations Specialist
Pamela has been working with the Cal 1 Card team for over four years. She is considered the point person for student staff. Pamela says her greatest accomplishment has been raising her three beautiful children. In her free time she can be found engaging in her favorite hobby of shopping for antique chairs. She loves the Berkeley community and appreciates how it enriches her daily experiences. Her favorite part of working for the Cal 1 Card office is aiding and interacting with the student staff to help them grow into young professionals.
Andrew Burt – Senior Production Assistant
Andrew is a junior here at UC Berkeley, majoring in both Political Science and History. He has been working in the Cal 1 Card Office since Fall 2010. Outside of work, he's on the Cal Mock Trial team, which lets him travel to exotic locations like Miami or Des Moines. His greatest achievement so far was when his team qualified for the National Mock Trial Championship this year. His favorite part of the job is returning students their lost Cal 1 Cards; it never gets old seeing how excited they get when he brings them back a lost card!
Kalford Chhay - Production Assistant
Kalford Chhay is a super senior majoring in History and Legal Studies. She would love to attend law school in the future and work as a prosecutor one day. Her favorite pastimes include blogging, shopping, eating out, playing video games, and bothering her cat. Her greatest achievement is coming from a refugee family of eight and being a first generation college student. She only started working in the Cal 1 Card office in Fall 2011, but she is very excited and grateful to be part of the wonderful staff team.
Sara Gall - Production Assistant
Sara Gall is a 2nd year English major who hails from Tennessee. She hopes to graduate a year early and continue on to Law School in San Francisco. As well as being involved in the International Socialist Organization on campus, Sara enjoys knitting, reading, playing the ukulele, and learning new languages. She started working at the C1C office Fall 2011 and her favorite thing about her job is seeing all the diversity that is displayed on campus. She is amazed by all the passports from different places that show up in the office everyday.
"Kate" YaeHyun Kang - Production Assistant
Kate is a 4th year major in development studies with a minor in city and regional planning. She is a transfer student from Pasadena City College, but grew up in Sokcho in South Korea, which is famous for seafood, beautiful beaches, and mountains. She started to work at the Cal 1 Card office as a volunteer of ResHall Student Orientation Staff a year ago with Dominic. She is heavily involved with the Committee for Korea Studies, an active student organization on the UC Berkeley campus that aims to increase the awareness and knowledge of Korean culture, history, and issues. Her favorite activities are going to Korean restaurants, surfing, playing dodgeball, and listening to music (N.E.R.D is her favorite!). She is very happy and grateful to work at the Cal 1 Card office.
Dominic Tsang – Production Assistant
Dominic was born and raised in San Francisco and is currently an undeclared junior hoping to major in environmental economics and policy, with minors in city and regional planning and public policy. He started at the Cal 1 Card office in fall '10 as a volunteer with the ResHall Student Orientation Staff and was hired as a temporary distribution assistant for the Class Pass program. Working at the Office is like having an extended family, which is a needed contrast from academics. Students, faculty, staff, and visiting scholars want quick, efficient service at C1C and that is what he hopes to provide. His spare time is spent either on social media (Yelp, foursquare, twitter, Pandora) or with friends trying new eateries and cafes (SF street food is the best!).
Phuong-Uyen Vo – Production Assistant
Phuong grew up in Vietnam and then lived in Texas for four years. She is currently a freshman majoring in Molecular and Cell Biology. She would love to study in a medical school after graduating. Her favorite activities are going to Yogurtland, watching movies, and listening to music. She thinks that becoming part of the staff team at the Cal 1 Card Office is one of the most wonderful things she has done at Berkeley.
Kojuan Williams – Production Assistant
Kojuan 'WHOUPINHERE' Williams is a senior here at the University of California, Berkeley. He is a Landscape Architecture major who hopes to someday rebuild low income urban communities. He hails from Compton, CA, a city smack right in the center of Los Angeles County. He loves to design and learn about plants. During his free time, he usually talks to friends or takes a nap. Something interesting about him is that he can draw but only when he's alone, to relieve stress. He is very outgoing and loves meeting new people; therefore, when you see him in the Cal 1 Card office, don't be afraid to say hello!
