Hey AW!

I've been absent for awhile, but I'm back and wanted to share with you all, and to meet all of the newcomers since I've been gone! I graduated from college last March with a double major in literary journalism and global cultures, and was chosen to be the commencement speaker at my university in June. After leaving Irvine, I moved to the east coast in Aug for my first post-grad internship. Since then, I've interned at NPR and am now currently interning at MSNBC in New York.

In 2009, I took my first personal essay writing class and wrote a 20-page piece on my personal journey with alopecia. Since then, I've been working on perfecting it and am hoping to one day publish it.

Looking forward to hearing from you all, and I hope everyone is staying warm this winter! I just experienced my first New York City snowfall today, and boy am I glad to be inside...

Cheers,
Traci
