MiraCosta College Current Students

	Yesenia Ramos Hi MiraCosta College! My name is Yesenia, I’m a communication major and my favorite color is aquatic blue. I love meeting new people and going on adventures! I am currently serving as the California Latina Leadership Network Student Vice President for the second time, and I really enjoy it. In my spare time I like to write stories and make YouTube videos. One of my goals is to make a social change with my Pinkiffied Movement. One day I hope to have my own Pinkiffied talk show. If you see me on campus don’t be shy--say “hi!” My generation is crazy enough to think we can make a change and reckless enough that we’ll do it. Read My Blog

	Brittney Smith Hello! I’m Brittney Smith—a Native Californian. I am so excited to be one of the Ambassador team members here at MiraCosta College!Currently a sophomore, I am working through the TAP program to transfer to a UC college to major in psychology/human development with a minor in art therapy. MiraCosta College has been a great experience for me. Here you have the opportunity to get an amazing education with some of the most talented professors that know you by name, not a number! The clubs and activities available on campus are numerous so that whatever your passion is you can find it here. Read My Blog

	Caitlin Riddle Hello, my name is Caitlin or Caity for short. I’m a first year student at MiraCosta College. I graduated from Oceanside High School in 2012 where I did cheerleading for four years. My love of writing started young, and I started blogging at thirteen. I like writing about almost everything that comes to mind! I am currently majoring in English, and I plan on going into journalism once I graduate from either San Diego State University (I am a HUGE Aztec fan) or Pepperdine University. On my spare time, I like to eat, gawk at pictures on Tumblr, post randomness on Instagram, and talk/complain to the world via Twitter. I also love reading, and music. I listen to anything from Demi Lovato, Paramore to Odd Future and everything in between. I cannot wait to fill you guys in on what I’m doing or thinking so enjoy yourself – otherwise I’m pretty much just talking to myself! Read My Blog

	Tim Tingley Hi all! My name is Tim Tingley and I am a returning MiraCosta College student pursuing a degree in Graphic Design. I am a California native and a Navy Veteran. I believe in the importance of being active in organizations and one of the clubs I am involved in at MiraCosta College is the Horticulture Club. An off-campus group that I am also involved in at North County San Diego is the Wounded Warrior Project. The Wounded Warrior Project is a group that holds events in order to help people in the area who suffer from economic limitations. I hope that my blog will encourage you on your college and job pursuits in balancing out what you need to do to achieve your college degree. Read My Blog
