“I’m excited to announce that I graduated from UC Santa Barbara with my BA in Writing & Literature through the College of Creative Studies and minors in Asian American Studies and Professional Writing/Journalism. This combination of academic classes, alongside a cherished collection of memories and experiences, has taught me the importance of community and a continuous pursuit of growth. I couldn’t be more thankful for the friends, professors, and mentors who created a safe space of support during today’s world and taught me how to strengthen my voice all while uplifting others. After graduation, I plan to pursue journalism and more writing opportunities before attending grad school!”
