I am a sophomore at USF studying Communication and living in Phelan. I came to USF over a year ago, not knowing what I wanted to do for academic study, and quickly re-found a passion I had in working PR for non-profit.

Right now I am interning at the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition and hope to help them make a difference with biking and biker rights on San Francisco streets until my internship is over in late summer.

Therefore, I am excited as to what this class and its projects has in store and am intrigued to find out how it will effect my own work...
