I took the California Bar Exam last week and it was definitely a grueling 3 days! I’m glad that it’s over but now we have to play the waiting game (results don’t come out till mid-November). I just moved out of my Berkeley apartment and I’m now in the process of unpacking and getting used to having free time again. I’ll miss that city but I won’t miss the crazy studying schedule. Thank goodness I’m getting a month off before I start working to relax and Marc and I are currently figuring out what to do for my bar trip and we’re thinking of driving up to Seattle and maybe Vancouver so that’s in the works. We’ll be sure to hit up local spots so please let us know if you recommend something between the Bay Area and Vancouver.

About Shift Local
Inspired by national support local movements such as Project 3/50, Independent We Stand and Cash Mobs, high school sweethearts Marc and Mari aspire to unite the East Bay communities into creating a long-term shift from spending at national chains to supporting local businesses. We hope to challenge and engage others and ourselves in developing a collaborative environment where East Bay residents and local businesses can partner up to build strong local economies.
Marc grew up in Alameda and San Leandro. A recent UC Berkeley graduate, Marc is an aspiring social entrepreneur with experience in real estate, property management and banking. He is an active member of the community serving as the Financial Secretary at First Christian Church of Alameda, volunteer at food banks and tutored children with Autism.
Mari is a Hayward resident who grew up in San Leandro. Mari is also UC Berkeley graduate and is now a third-year law student at UC Hastings, College of the Law. Since middle school, Mari has taken on leadership roles in student government and associations and continues to be involved in the community through volunteering in legal clinics and outreaching to underprivileged students.
