Hello! My name is Michael Handa and I am the 2014 intern for NCI! I will be a third year student at UC Berkeley next year with a major in Public Health and a minor in History. In high school I was active with the San Jose Jr. Young Buddhist Association, and was on cabinet three years there. I was also a fourth grade Dharma School teacher my junior and senior years of high school. Then in college I joined Berkeley's Nikkei Student Union and will be the Internal Vice President next year. San Jose Japantown has been a second home to me for as long as I can remember, so I am excited not only to learn more about the community I was raised in, but to give back to it in whatever ways I can.
I know you will have a blast, Michael!
