Introduction

My name is Melody Su and I was born in New Jersey, but I moved to Rancho Palos Verdes, California when I was 3 years old. I have one sister, Cher, and she will be a sophomore in high school in the fall. We have a really close relationship even though we have different interests. I decided to do FSSP because I wanted to be familiar with the school before the fall quarter, and because I wanted to get a head start by fulfilling some of the GE classes. So far, FSSP has been a great experience and I have really been enjoying all the activities, meeting new friends, meeting the professors, and exploring the community. 

I love makeup, so during my free time I like to experiment with the new makeup products I buy in addition to watching makeup tutorials on YouTube. I am majoring in Communications; I would like to pursue a career in marketing and public relations, preferably in a fashion or cosmetics company. I would like to take advantage of the study abroad program which UCSB offers by going to Europe and exploring the routes of the many designer brands. During high school, I was very involved in volunteer work so I would like to help out around the community here as well. Because of my obsession for makeup and my weakness as being a shopaholic, I am planning on working either on or off campus. So far my experience at Santa Barbara has been amazing and I am really excited for the next few years at UCSB.
