Gwyneth Tripp grew up in Berkeley where her interest in social justice and health care began. As past chair of the Berkeley Youth Commission and intern at the Immune Enhancement Project (IEP) Ms. Tripp learned first hand about advocating for services and providing holistic care for those who are often overlooked.
Ms. Tripp received her Bachelor’s degree in History from the University of California Berkeley. Her thesis topic was “Serving Paradise, Women, Work and Tourism in Jamaica,” and she delivered the commencement address for her department, a reflection on the role historians play in informing the future through the experiences of the past.
For the past six years, Ms. Tripp has worked in a variety of nonprofit organizations and women-owned businesses, honing her administrative skills. She is also an avid artist and currently maintains a painting and sculpture studio in Oakland. She is an innovative and messy cook and loves to contemplate the possibility of travel and the intricacies of cultural developments.
