Additional Information

I was a full-time student at University of California: Santa Cruz from Fall Quarter 2016 until Spring Quarter of 2019. I was a double major in History: East Asian History-Japanese and Anthropology: Archaeology. My father was diagnosed with cancer during the Spring Quarter and left early so that I could assist in caring for him. Following his passing in November I stayed around the house to aide my mother and mourn my father. As I began to prepare to return to University, Novel Covid lockdowns began. I am eager to return to the workforce and intend to continue my education in the future.

Additional work experience includes Universal Furniture in 2000, I built and delivered furniture. In 2002, I worked as a secretary for Fraley and Fraley Bankruptcy Attorneys and Exotic Plants, Ltd. as a general assistant to the shop, office, and delivery department. In 2004, I worked for Jo-anns Fabrics and Crafts for 7 months as a cashier, receiving, and stock.

I enjoy learning, reading, drawing, chainmail work, gaming, and am currently returning to my martial arts background.
