Ridah Chaudhry

Student Work Study

I’m a third year student pursuing a degree in Data Science with an emphasis in Economics. I grew up in Fresno, California where I developed my appreciation for environmental conservation and preserving the ecosystems that sustain our communities.

In my freetime, I enjoy baking, doing yoga, and traveling! Of all the places I’ve visited, Paris remains my favorite city of all time.

I provide administrative support for ESPM staff.

Supports graduate students in the Department and manages the day-to-day activities of ESPM graduate programs.

I am a Graduate Student Affairs Officer for ESPM. Prior to being a GSAO, I was an undergraduate academic advisor and scheduler in the Music Department at UC Berkeley. I also worked in academic personnel and undergraduate advising at UC Santa Barbara.

Outside of work, I enjoy visiting with family, hiking, spending time in Santa Cruz and Santa Barbara, and singing silly songs with my cat. (Bean likes to meow along!)
