Well, hello there! My name is Marissa and I am currently a second year at the University of California, Berkeley where I am studying Business with an emphasis in Non-profit Management. This blog has had many lives. It began as a personal space of expression and is now dedicated to my journey in achieving my educational and career goals.
Why do I write? I write to share, to inspire, and to change the way you think about the world around you. Join me as I attempt to take on the world, one cookie at a time!
Although I’m currently in college, I have a plethora of other interests that I’m passionate about aside from earning my degree!
