I grew up in Novato, California and was born in the foggy city of San Francisco. I graduated from Saint Marks middle school in Terra Linda and  went on to Marin Catholic high school but, after two years, transferred to my local public school and graduated from there. I wanted to come to the University of San Diego because of the gorgeous campus and incomparable location. It was my favorite school from the moment I stepped on campus and I am incredibly excited to be here.

I hope to develop more interest in writing than I previously had. I always dreaded receiving essay assignments in class but actually really enjoyed writing about certain topics. I look forward to developing my skills both in analysis and presentation of writing. I am also excited to delve into the concept of multimodal writing. I think this approach will bring a lot more relevance and application to a skill many students of my generation consider boring or pointless. I also think a more well rounded skill set in writing will help translate to so many other aspects of my life and will add to the toolset I can bring out into the real world.
