More about me:  I grew up in Los Angeles and spent most Summers in France with my mother's family. I was initiated at the University of California, Irvine-Epsilon Psi Chapter. Having been a slightly older transfer student from Santa Monica College, I wanted to participate in as many college experiences as possible. I found Alpha Chi Omega-Epsilon Psi to have a diverse and interesting group of young women that I could clearly get along with. After graduation, I moved to the Bay Area for several years, and upon my return to Los Angeles, it took several more years before becoming involved with AXO-Gamma Theta Gamma.  I am looking forward to being the incoming Communications Chair so I may become more involved with the Alpha Chi Omega-Gamma Theta Gamma Sisters.
