About

I am a first generation college student. I am currently a freshman attending Santa Monica College. I plan to transfer to California State University, Chico during Fall 2017. I really care about the environment and the people occupying it. According to the Briggs-Myer personality test, I have a Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, Judging personality. This basically means I am an humanitarian with an ideal and practical perspective who is service-oriented and future-oriented.

Goals and interests

Career goal

I aspire to become a Young Adult Librarian at a Public Library. I really want to provide access to books to adolescents (or anyone really), because so often adolescents use alcohol and drugs as an escape from reality, unaware that books can provide a much safer shelter.

Graduate school interests

So far, I'm looking at American Library Association accredited Universities. Currently, I am interested in University of Toronto.

Outside the classroom

I love to read books on my spare time. I have a tendency to sing when I'm bored. I enjoy baking more than cooking.
