Hello! My name is Ashley Rubin and I am a sophomore here at SDSU. I am a Journalism and Media Studies major and I am hoping to work in the sports media industry. While that might seem completely different from what this class is about, I have always had a strong interest in literature as well as the environment which made me interested in this class! I love to read and am very interested and excited about this course!

When I am in San Diego, some of my hobbies include going to the beach, surfing, spending time with my friends, going to farmers markets, and spending lots of time outside. When I am home in New York I do things such as boxing classes, walking around the city, spending time with family and friends, and have recently been taking care of my new puppy. I am excited to meet everyone taking part in this course and hope to have a comfortable and open-minded community among us.
