I've lived in San Leandro since I was about 4 years old and have a strong affinity for this city. I worked for the SLUSD for seven years as a tutor at San Leandro High for the AVID program, for the very school and college prep program I graduated from. I am currently working towards getting my degree finished while balancing writing, illustrating, and living life. I have a real passion for my community and hope to contribute what I can here on The Patch.
