About Me

I was born and raised in San Diego and I moved back a few years ago after I graduated from UCSB. I love San Diego but I miss Isla Vista and Santa Barbara...mostly all the amazing friends I met there. I'm convinced it's the best place ever to go to college. I worked in social work for couple of years at various non-profits and now I'm going to law school at USD.
