About
I spent many years after graduating high school pursuing a career in music. I had many great experiences and opportunities along the way but eventually decided to return to school after 11 years. I enrolled at a local community college in 2013 and have been taking several credits each quarter in an attempt to graduate as soon as possible. By the time I finish my major at the University of Washington I will have obtained a bachelors degree in 2 and half years. I have taken a variety of courses including music, drama, anthropology, geology, astronomy and others. My main field of study has been English writing and literature. I am also in 3rd year Korean language courses.
