Meet Our Interns
Our interns are always hard at work
Ailyn, Armani, and Nadia’s own experiences with education fuel their passion to fully fund California public schools. They are an integral part of our campaign. They’re spending their spring conducting research on California’s education crisis, creating content for Evolve’s social media platforms, and directly engaging the public through one-on-one conversations, and so much more.
Ailyn is a third year student at UC Berkeley, studying Legal Studies and Ethnic Studies with a minor in Public Policy. Growing up in Los Angeles she faced and understood the struggles of what a lack of property funding for public education meant. She faced many difficulties within the K-12 system in the Los Angeles Unified School District, from lack of chairs and tables, to not even having teachers for certain classes. She is interested in grassroots organizing and ensuring proper advocacy in the Bay Area. In her free time she enjoys going thrifting, volunteering at concerts, and loves traveling.
Armani is a Philosophy major and Political Science minor who will be graduating from San Jose State University in Spring 2026. Growing up in the Central Valley, Armani saw how wealth disparities can infiltrate school districts and ultimately prevent them from providing students with the educational resources they need. Having firsthand experience with lack of funding throughout her K-12 experience, Armani has become committed to working to achieve an equitable and well-funded educational system within California so that all students can have the educational experience they deserve. In her free time she loves to spend time with friends and family, read cheesy romcoms and classic literature, and foster animals.
Nadia is a junior at UC Berkeley studying Political Science and Legal Studies. She first became involved in organizing and engagement at a young age through phonebanking and facilitating after-school activities for students in underfunded schools. Later, she expanded her political involvement by working directly with candidates through the Contra Costa Young Democrats and serving in UC Berkeley’s ASUC, where she focused on civic engagement and basic needs advocacy. Inspired by Evolve’s commitment to grassroots advocacy, she is passionate about uplifting communities and expanding opportunities for all students. In her free time, Nadia enjoys playing the piano, watching films, and hiking with friends.
