I left AZ and came to UW because I was so done with the heat there until I realized that nothing could be worse than non-stop rain for a month haha. But the TSA family has continued to warm my heart just like the sun and I'm so glad that I chose to become a TSA officer <3" I spend most of my free time in a coffee shop or in lab but I also like to go out and explore the city of Seattle for some cool photoshoot. Trying to figure out my life as a senior but also trying to live at the moment to have the full college experience package ;)

This year, I'm working on TSA's marketing and cross-organization collabs, so if you're interested in working with us, feel free to reach out to me! |
