What are you most involved with on campus?
I’m involved with the Stanford Concert Network, in charge of planning, publicizing, and producing all-campus concerts. To give you an idea of the kinds of shows we put together: this year we had Das Racist, Steve Aoki, Kid Sister, and Super Mash Bros., and last year we booked L.A. Riots, Designer Drugs, Yeasayer, and Afroman. It’s been a really cool experience learning about all sides of the music industry, from marketing to live mixing. I’m also involved with the Stanford GreenStore, which sells eco-friendly products like recyclable cups and laundry detergent, and the Stanford Energy Club, an umbrella organization for students interested in developing clean energy.
