This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UC Irvine chapter.

Major: Business Economics
Graduation Year: 2013
Hometown: Carson, CA  
Interests: I’m really big on music. I want to become a music producer, that’s my main thing! I also like dancing—I wanted to join MCIA but haven’t found the time yet.  
What kind of music do you write?: I write mainly Hip-Hop, R&B, pop, instrumentals, and I also collaborate with friends.  
What’s something most of your friends don’t know about you?: My music is my hidden talent. I can’t read music, but when I hear something, I can play it.
What instruments do you play?: Piano and guitar. I also sing a little bit, but not enough to be a singer.
What are your main focuses right now?: My life revolves around work and school. I also work at Cha so a lot of people know me by “Cha”.  
What’s the best characteristic in a girl?: They’d have to be pretty down to earth personality wise.
Who are your favorite producers?: Timbaland because he’s an artist and a producer, Ryan Tedder from One Republic because he produces Hip-Hop besides singing, and Nicki Minaj because she’s fearless and not afraid of stepping outside of lines when doing stuff. She’s my babe for life!
