I grew up in Laguna Beach, and I learned to surf when I was 10. I fell in love, and I quickly began competing. In high school, I joined the Billabong womens’ surf team, as well as the USA Surf Team. I loved competing, but when it came time to graduate high school, I wanted to pursue my education. I graduated from UCLA with a degree in Political Science and a minor in Environmental Systems and Society, and I am applying to law school for admission in the fall.
