I am a Journalism Major attending the Santa Rosa Junior College. My goal is to become a sports writer one day. With that being said, I am very excited about my opportunity of being a Staff Writer for the Swingin A’s. I have loved the sport of baseball for as long as I can remember, and I have been an Oakland Athletics fan from the day I was born. The colors green and gold have always been a significant part of my life and there is nothing I like to do more then talk and write about A’s baseball.
