About Me

I am a senior at San Diego State University. I currently hold a 3.39 GPA. I transferred to SDSU with a 3.53 from a community college in Northern California. At that community college, I was on the Dean's list in 2008, and 2009. I earned multiple scholarships during my time there and graduated with honors with an AA in Liberal Studies.
