  Job Description: COMEDY THEATER CO-MANAGER   In the summer of my sophomore year of high school, my mother told me to get a job immediately after turning 16 years old. After multiple failed attempts with some of California’s staple teenager employers (Trader Joe’s and In-N-Out), I felt as though I was an undesirable and unskilled teenager.

Most residents of HB are heavily involved in the community, whether that is through beach cleanups or going to Sunday league soccer matches. After high school, I moved away from Huntington Beach and studied abroad, living in London for a year.

I plan to travel the world by working remotely and using my free time to explore all the beauties the world has to offer.  Growing up, I developed a lot of traits from my mom and my dad that are still present today. My dad gave me his sense of humor and quick wit, while my mom gave me her learning and teaching skills.Their skills combined have helped me tremendously throughout life, but I have also learned my own inde...
