What is work life like after graduation? Interested in working for a non-profit organization connected to worker’s rights? Join us for our last virtual hangout of Spring Quarter, Tuesday, May 25th, from 11am-12pm to connect and have a stress-free, informal Q&A with UCLA Labor Studies recent UCLA graduate and Los Angeles Alliance for a New Economy (LAANE) community organizer Ashley Michel. Let’s share space one more time this year to have a casual conversation about nonprofit sector jobs and get some firsthand work tips and truths from a first-gen professional.
Ashley is a first-generation student who graduated from UCLA in 2021 with a major in Labor Studies and minor in Chicanx & Central American Studies. The granddaughter of Bracero farmworkers, Ashley was born in the California Central Valley and grew up in the San Diego-Tijuana border region, where she was raised by a domestic worker. While at UCLA, she was involved in AAP’s Research Rookies, the Labor Summer Research Program, UNITE HERE Local 11, and SLAP. As the former Labor Studies communications student assistant, she created content for our social media and was one of the original masterminds behind Labor Studies Virtual Hangouts! Now, Ashley works as a Community Organizer for LAANE & Reclaim our Schools L.A.
