About
After graduating High Honors at La Mirada High School, I started my college career at Cerritos College. Within three years, I graduated High Honors with two Associates degrees; One in Global Politics and Diplomacy and the other in History. I transferred to Cal State Dominguez Hills and am currently on a two year track in receiving my BA in History for Education which works towards achieving teaching credentials. I plan to graduate in one year and be on my way to Graduate school. I would like to receive my Masters degree in Museum Studies with an emphasis on history. I currently am attending school full time while working full time with two part time jobs. Not to mention, extracurricular volunteer work consisting of over 700 hours per year for the city of La Mirada and the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles.
