Hi! I'm Linsha. I'm the Campaign Coordinator at EmpowHER and am happy to be here. I attend UC Berkeley and am majoring in Political Science, with a minor in English. I'm excited to be working for a company that takes women's health seriously and provides resources that are accessible and relatable for everyone. Since starting college, I've become addicted to the feeling that results from working out and am slowly learning to integrate exercise into my daily life. I love dogs, discussing politics, writing and hiking. I'm excited to engage in new ways to improve, grow and learn from EmpowHER on my journey to a healthier lifestyle!
