What is your favorite memory from UC Davis?

My favorite memory of UC Davis was taking a class on Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. I remember just loving working with the original text in Middle English and being able to translate as we read, learning how the language has transformed over time. There was also a VERY rare day in my freshman year when it snowed on campus, much to the delight of all the students, that holds a special place in my memories at UCD.

What are you up to now, personally or professionally? 

I now manage global public relations for a Silicon Valley cybersecurity company, Malwarebytes. I've taken my English major and leveraged that for a communications PR career, supplementing my education from UCD with a Master's in Mass Communications from San Jose State University and an MBA in progress as well at Santa Clara University.
