Tell us about yourself. Where you’re from and how did you get to SMC?

I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. During my junior year at high school, I was applying to colleges and the last school I wanted to go to was Santa Monica College. However, after applying and getting rejected from five C.S.U.s I found myself with few other choices.

How did you hear about the Psych Club?

In the Fall of 2012, I was playing a game called Supperbetter and one of the quests called "Birds of a Feather" said to join a club (or equivalent) to help build social resilience. I went on line to the school's website and found out we had a psychology club, so I joined.

What is your major and what do you plan on focusing on in the future?

I am currently majoring in psychology and am planning to get a PhD in Positive Psychology, a field of psychology that studies how people can flourish.

As a board member, what can you do to help this club succeed?

I have been on the Psychology Club Board in the past, so I can offer my knowledge and experience. I am also well versed in school rules and procedures.

A Quinoa burger with cheese, jalapenos, a side of fries with ranch dressing and ketchup.

The Procrastinator from the Amanda Show.

If you could be any character in fiction, whom would you be?

I would be David Landers. A character I just made up.
