1. Tell us the highlights of your professional career. What are your proudest achievements?

Three months before graduation I got the perfect job offer 鈥 managing the charity department at Pura Vida Bracelets. I studied Kinesiology and decided not to continue down that path. I knew my passions 鈥 service and fashion 鈥 and knew that I had to take a chance to pursue them. My entire college career set me up for this moment. I鈥檓 so thankful that I had the opportunities presented to me at 色情视频. The organizations I joined, people I met and jobs I held all set me up for my future.

Now I get to work for an amazing company! I work in a beautiful office in La Jolla with the best co-workers. On top of all that, I鈥檝e been able to continue my passion for fashion and start my own fashion column, Just Ask B. In a little under 6 months, I鈥檝e been able to grow my brand, meet amazing fashion and style writers all over the world and get inspiration for my own designs.

2.  What鈥檚 your favorite college memory?

There are so many it鈥檚 hard to choose just one! Basically any memory that includes meeting someone who has been instrumental in my life. These memories usually revolve around those big moments in the dorms, my sorority (Go Delta Gamma!) and fun nights out!

3. Who was your favorite professor and/or what was your favorite class?

Professor Choi for Sociology 101! He was a professor that made everyone want to learn. To this day, I鈥檝e never seen a 500 student lecture hall at 9 a.m. completely full for the entire semester. And he didn鈥檛 even take roll!

4. If you were to give current 色情视频 students some advice, what would you say?

Just go for it! Try everything and follow your passions. Don鈥檛 be afraid to fail and have people tell you that you can鈥檛 do that. You鈥檙e never stuck in a career or field of study just because you鈥檝e done it for so long.

5. What are you currently reading? What鈥檚 your favorite book?

I鈥檓 a huge fan of science fiction novels. They mix romance, mystery, action and comedy perfectly. I鈥檓 in between novels right now so I haven鈥檛 had the chance to get a new one!

6. What quality do you value most in friends and colleagues?

With friends, I鈥檇 say just being able to share your passions and know they are genuinely rooting for you and interested. With colleagues, it鈥檇 have to say that having team mentality, everything is better when you can collaborate with others on a project and work together.

7. What is your passion?


Definitely fashion with a mix of service, writing and marketing thrown in there. You could also say I have a passion for travel. Travelling allows me to gain insights into other cultures and inspires my writing and designs. The world is beautiful and I want to see it all!

8. What is your motto?

鈥淛ust go for it!鈥 It鈥檚 something I try to incorporate in everything I do.

9. If you won the lottery, what would you do with your winnings?

I buy a ticket for every drawing. If I won I鈥檇 give a portion to my loved ones and then I鈥檇 use to rest to get my projects on their way. I鈥檇 finish my designs, build my app and start a magazine. I鈥檇 use money to make money and enjoy my passions. And of course I鈥檇 travel!
