Nate Anderson

(510) 867-8649

My name is Nate. My wife is in her first year as a dual PhD in Public Policy and Masters in Public Health student. She has already received a Masters in Public Policy from Cal so our stay at the Village is going on 4 years. We have 3 kids -- Jude 5, Emaline 3, August 10 months.

I've been an RA for 1 year and enjoy meeting and socializing with all the wonderful people that truly define UC Berkeley.

David Burnap

(510) 867-8635

My name is David and I am an undergraduate working towards a degree in English Literature. My husband Chase and I moved in to the West Village last fall from Orange County and though it has been
quite an adjustment we have fallen in love with our new home.

I am honored to have been selected to represent such a wonderful community and am looking forward to helping this exceptional team make our Village the best it can be.

Victoria Eisenberg

(510) 867-8632

My name is Victoria- I have my awesome husband, Ben, who is almost through his first year of law school. Proud of him! We have two beautiful children- our son Avi, who will be 3 years in the beginning of April, and our daughter Via, who is almost 1 year and a half. I am a stay at home mum right now, who is home (pre) schooling her two babies and working on finishing my massage practitioner license, among many other plans, after finishing my BA in Theatre Arts last year.

I have been an RA since the summer of 2008. I love my job- I am so happy to work with a great team- whom I consider family. I love my job because it allows me to bring together a community which really does represent the world and all its capabilities- truly "The World in One Village" every day!

Peter Komfolio

(510) 867-8633

Hi, my name is Peter and I am a Cal undergraduate majoring in Rhetoric with emphasis in public discourse. I moved to the village in August 2008 from the
Los Angeles area with my wife Anastasia and 2 children Mia (4) and Red (2). Anastasia is also a student at Berkeley City College, interested in child development.

We are all looking forward to all the
fun family events with our stupendous neighbors.

LaTonya Minor

HI UC Village! My name is Latonya Minor and I am a senior, majoring in American Studies. I am very excited to be a RA, and look forward to serving the Village community. I have one beautiful daughter named Kendal.

Scarlet Narciso

(510) 867-8631

My name is Scarlet and I am originally from Venezuela. Greg, my husband, my son Matias (6 years, this month) came here after living in Sao Paulo, Brazil, for almost 8 years. Greg is currently pursuing his MBA, the reason why we moved to this country.

I became an RA in September of last year,
not exactly knowing what to expect. After six months in this position, I have found a sense of community I longed for. I am from a very small town on the Caribbean ocean, where knowing your neighbors and encountering familiar faces in every outing was part of daily life. Being an RA in this
community has facilitated being again in a space similar to what I experienced in my formative years. I am pleasantly surprised, and fortunate to be here.

Lin Ning

(510) 867-8634

My name is Lin, coming from China with my husband, who is now a second year PhD student in Computer Science. We moved to the Village in August. I know I joined a great team and would be more than happy to work with my teammates for our wonderful village community.

Isadora Souza

(510) 772-1636

My name is Isadora- I am from Brazil and I have been living in the Village for one year. My husband is a post-doc at the UC Berkeley and we have a two years old daughter called Isabella. We are Brazilians and before moving to the US we lived for four years in Cologne, Germany, where
my husband got his PhD.

I've been an RA for 8 months now and have enjoyed every bit of it. The opportunity to get in contact with people from so many different cultural background is very rewarding.
