About me

Hi, a little about me. I’m currently a student at Sac City College and American River College. This is my third year attending a community college and I’m currently majoring in Biopsychology with the hope of transferring to UC Santa Barbara in the Fall.
I took an interest in this class because it combined both my interest in philosophy and my love for movies.

I was born into a very religious Catholic household and I have vivid memories of going to church often to pray with my family. My faith stuck with me up to my days in high school where I joined a Christian club and I met a Pastor from a different Christian denomination. He had different beliefs than I did, concerning Christianity, which led me to dive deeper into the Catholic faith and learn more about it. Scrolling through YouTube, trying to find answers to questions that I had about my own faith, I stumbled upon the YouTube channel of a Father named Robert Barron. He would comment on popular movies, from a Christian perspective, and he would also talk about the intellectual and philosophical tradition of the Catholic Church. He loved to talk about philosophers such as Aristotle, St. Augustine, and, mainly, St. Thomas Aquinas and also critique many philosophers such as Nietzsche, Kant, Sartre and other philosophers. His YouTube videos introduced me to the philosophy world and sparked an interest in me for the subject that has stayed with me to this day.

Growing up I loved playing baseball and I would often hear the Giant’s baseball games on the radio. I played baseball up to my freshman year of high school where I quickly learned that I couldn’t hit. I stopped playing baseball the year and decided to dedicate my athletic skills to Track and Field and Cross Country. I was a Cross Country runner and Track and Field athlete all four years of high school and also during my first two years at American River College. Some current hobbies of mine are reading, listening to podcasts, and flipping stuff on Ebay.
