About Me

I am a Mexican/Sicilian grad student at Cal State Northridge in Chicano Studies. I have just been approved to begin my thesis film on Chicano/a Satire and Parody in the Movement. I'm originally from Seattle but live in LA now. I have a few piercings and tattoos (finally done with the half sleeves). I've always been the class clown so I love making people laugh guess that's why i'm now the editor in chief of a hilarious Chicano satire Magazine called Puro Pedo Magazine (www.myspace.com/puropedomagazine). We just put out our 1 year best of issue. It's really taking off and I just want to thank everyone for their support!
