What’s your favorite class? Intro to Products and Markets was a pretty awesome class taught by Dr. Jerry Jackson. The class was divided into groups with a specific market (i.e car, airplanes, stock market, etc). Our textbook for the class was the Wall Street Journal. So, for each class we had to read the WSJ and present a powerpoint with out group on the latest happenings concerning our particular market for that week. There was a lot of team spirit going on by the middle the quarter…
Do you play any sports? I’m an avid snowboarder, and am learning to surf too — here in Southern Cali you can surf and snowboard in the same day! Playing guitar and the drums are also a passion of mine.
Do you participate in any Student Life or music related activities? I’m actually a senator in Student Government and am beginning a music club. Being a big fan of music, I and some of my roommates put on a pretty epic, Battle of the Bands, during spring quarter. The entire student body showed up! We have a ton of talented musicians in our school, and this was a great way for them to showcase their talent.
What is your favorite thing about JP Catholic? Definitely the location! Also, practically using the skills we learn in class. Right now, I’m on the marketing team for a webisode series and have been helping out on lots of student film projects.
Plans after graduation?Hopefully working for myself. I’m in the brainstorming stage right now. I hope to stay in San Diego– this is the best place to live and work! …As an entrepreneurial business student, I have an idea called, “The Chill Box” — seeing my passion as a snowboarder, I’d like to create a business that will thrive in ski villages and ski resorts that will provide a relaxing environment for snow sport enthusiasts.
