Hi everyone my name is Jackie! I am an English and Comparative Literature major who transferred from San Diego Miramar College this year. I am super excited to continue my education here at SDSU and I’m looking forward to all the knowledge I will gain from classes. My favorite form of writing is creative writing, I feel like I can write for so long and just pour out my ideas freely. I currently work in dentistry and love working with teeth just as much as I love writing creatively. I am so passionate about both and after graduation I hope to continue working in dentistry while still continuing my writing because why not? 🙂

Outside of work and school, I enjoy creative outlets that mainly involve working with my hand such as painting (even though I am not super great at it), ceramics— which I did in 3 semesters of at Miramar. A newer creative outlet I’ve picked up is learning how to play the drums. My dad is a musician and has guided me into learning how to play the drums, it was so hard for me at first but I’m proud to be able to play a couple songs now. With most of these hobbies, I tend to put them on pause during the semester because things can get pretty hectic with work and schoolwork so I definitely look forward to them during the breaks. 

I am looking forward to this semester with all of you!
