I have always been opinionated. As a child, my parents referred to me as a "chatterbox," and as I grew up, most adults asserted that I should be a lawyer. Heeding their advice, I have spent the past three years studying Political Science at UCSB, and I am about to finish my minor in Applied Psychology.
I love art, stand up comedies, and musicals. I try my very best to compliment those around me when possible. I try to make people laugh instead of sitting in silence. I listen to my friends (and foes) compassionately, and I try to give advice only when asked (please ask me). After working as an RA, a soccer coach, a babysitter, a customer service representative, I try my very best to help others even when they are far from their best selves.
As much as I love argumentation, logic, and justice, the current political economy doesn't leave me yearning to study law. Growing into my femininity, confidence, and desire to find a rewarding career, I now want to pursue teaching. The best way to influence the world around me is through empathy, patience, understanding, and respect.
I grew up in Oregon playing soccer, basketball, volleyball, and I tried my very best to run track :). Suffice to say, I spent a good deal of time learning how to be a team player, but also how to lead by example. My hope is to continue this even after I am forced into the real world (graduation -- yikes).
While I try to hold onto what is left of my youth, I hope to make as many of you laugh, reflect, and ask questions as possible. I am so excited for what our future holds.
