All About Me

Major: Advertising (Management track)
Minor: Justice Studies

Hello everyone! My name is Suzzette and I'm a junior here at SJSU. I'm half Chinese and half Peruvian. I'm involved in a sorority on campus and I'm looking forward to joining the advertising club as well. I'm not quite sure what I plan on doing after I graduate, hopefully I'll figure all of that out sooner than later. I have lived in the Bay Area my practically my whole life and perhaps after graduation I'll spend time travelling or at least go to graduate school somewhere far away.

I'm excited and scared of my 100 W writing class seeing as I have not taken any sort of writing course since freshman year! Hopefully i will come out of the course a much stronger writer.
