I am a student at California State University San Marcos, originally from Colorado Springs, Colorado. After moving to San Diego, I began attending community college and transferred to CSUSM in the fall of 2009 with the goal of obtaining a major in communications. I have now committed to majors of communications and spanish with a minor in anthropology. Adding anthropology as a minor has helped me understand others' cultures and will continue to assist me in respecting other people's beliefs. I am grateful for the opportunities that have led me to the person I am becoming.
