MEMBER SPOTLIGHT
Sophia Tsai BizOps Director
Hello! I am a second year studying Bioengineering I joined CalSol my Freshman year, and my curiosity in leading CalSol’s Business and Operations team lied in my interest towards environmental sustainability
By joining logistics, I was able to get a taste of Berkeley’s engineering prowess at outreach events, whilst also learning about the vast layers of running the business and operational side of the team!
It’s rewarding to see the engineers working collaboratively with the business team towards one shared goal: Gen XI Watching my team grow and gain respect continues to inspire me, and it has me excited for the future of CalSol and its Business and Operations Team!
