Hello everyone, my name is Kate Fletcher and I am a senior majoring in English Single Subject. I transferred here from San Jose State University during COVID, which set me a few semesters behind, but I have finally reached my last year of undergrad! After I graduate, I plan to get my teaching credential and my hope is to teach 10th or 11th grade.

I have lived in San Diego my whole life (except for the year in person at SJSU) and plan to live here forever. In my free time I love surf, hike, and play volleyball. I also just ran my first marathon this year and plan to do another in January! If I am not at school or work I am always at the beach. I also love to travel. I just got back from traveling to Germany for the past three weeks visiting family. In the future I would love to go to either Spain or Australia.

I am very excited to dive into Moby-Dick since it is such an iconic book. It is referenced so much in pop culture and I want to be able to understand them. The size of the book is a bit daunting, but I am happy we get to dissect each section of the book rather than get a quick lecture about it. I am eager to hear all the different interpretations in class!
