I'm the social media coordinator for the J. Paul Getty Trust.
I was born and raised in East Los Angeles and have spent the last decade living in the Bay Area. I prefer the sun over the fog any day!
I studied English literature and multimedia journalism at UC Berkeley.

Problems with its electrical system had kept it [...]
