I got into manga ,and later anime, when I turned 13, (literally, the day I turned 13) although I had seen anime in many forms beforehand. I had previously gotten into comic books during long, boring visits to a large department store that has since closed.

During middle school and high school, my manga obsession and habit of drawing during class garnered me a lot of teasing and I became an outcast. There was no anime club and no one in the school who shared my interests. (It was a small private school) During high school, however, I gained friends from other schools who shared my same interests. I started a webcomic (now defunct) during my sophomore year, the same year I started attending Anime Expo.

Also during AX07, I performed as a part of Minna no Nur Puppy in the ASOS Brigade's Haruhi Dance Contest. We won first place (not the grand prize however!) and got to dance on stage at the SOS Invasion Tour at AX07. Minna no Nur Puppy will be appearing on the fourth disc of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (American release)

I came to Cal Poly to study print journalism in 2005 and immediately got started with MnA. I am overjoyed to be able to serve Minna no Anime as an officer and look forward to having lots of fun with all of you!

Now I attend Fanime and Yaoi con as well as Anime Expo.
