Self Intro

你好! 저는Carmen입니다. どうぞよろしくお願いします。You may all be wondering...what did she just say--translation: Hi! I am Carmen. Nice to meet you. Something you may have already noticed is that I know four languages, not exactly all too well, but I am fluent in English and Cantonese, proficient in Japanese and Mandarin, and have one year's worth of conversational Korean "under my belt". I was born and raised in San Francisco, and now attend University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) majoring in Chemistry.

Luckily, before leaving to UCSB, I was able to intern at the San Francisco Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SF SPCA) over the summer. I worked in three different departments--Development and Marketing, Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT), and the hospital--and volunteered at the adoption center as well. The most memorable aspect of being an intern at the SF SPCA is being a part of the Puppy Dog Tales program, which promotes literacy by providing a lax and non-judgemental environment for children while improving their reading. Despite having no experience in handling a dog, I learned to walk and train a dog to be brought to the local middle school for this program. Being put out there to do something I was completely unfamiliar with was nerve-wracking..., but I made it!   




After being an intern at the SF SPCA, which furthered my interest in becoming a veterinarian, veterinary school became an another option instead going to medical school. But, I'm still thinking!

Even though it may look like I have my whole future planned ahead, I really don't! I'm just another ordinary student who enjoys listening to music when I get frustrated and stressed out, puts aside more important things to do to catch up on my favorite TV shows and movies, and hangout with friends. So please don't freak out! This was just a little bit about myself that I thought would be fun to share! 
それだけです。再見! 안녕~
