Photographer, church-goer, graphic designer

Hometown:
Davis, California

Favorite place on Earth:
Kenya

Have you felt effects of the economy?
Well, I lost my job because of it. I was working at the American Industry of Architects and they just said they didn’t need me anymore. Also, I’m a graduate student and was supposed to get funding for being a teacher assistant and they don’t have any money for that anymore.

What’s next after school?
Not sure if I really want to stay here. As a whole people are really passive-aggressive and sometimes that makes me feel like I can’t totally be myself here.

Favorite place to shop:
H&M

Where do you buy your groceries?
Safeway– I love my Safeway card and the discounts I get. I buy cheap stuff like Rice-A-Roni.
