About Me

My name is Alessandra and I am a 20 (almost 21) year old full time student at San Jose State University.I moved to the San Jose area from Southern California in January for school and I am originally from Long Island, NY. I love to learn about new things and learn about old things. I'm sort of a history fanatic. I am majoring in public relations and minoring in global studies. I am 100% italian and I really want to learn to speak it and live there for a while. Being Italian means having a huge family. I think I have just as much family in Italy as I do in the USA. My family means the world to me. And my friends are like my family. I have so many "brothers" and "sisters" that I have lost count. I am funny, goofy, kooky, weird, interesting, a bookworm, a music fan, and just trying to find myself in this crazy time. I am a huge New York Yankees fan. I am starting to like/understand football. I love basketball. In high school, I played water polo and swam. I LOVE meeting new people. I try to be as optimistic about the happenings in my life because I have learned that if you are not, you are always expecting the worst.

I have goals in life that I will achieve and I will do my best while I am at it. My career goals involve working with the Olympics in some capacity, preferably FINA, which is the governing body for swimming. I love baseball, as I have mentioned already. Sports were my first love in life and will remain a huge part of me the rest of my life. I also have a love for planning, which is why I chose Public Relations as my major. I recently finished an internship with the 2009 Senior Games and it was one of the most amazing experiences I have ever gone through. I am starting a new internship next week with BASOC, which stands for Bay Area Sports Organizing Committee. It is the same organization that put on the Senior Games. I will be working with them on a number of different events. I am so excited! It truly is a huge opportunity and I can't believe I get to work with them twice. Before that I worked with my church a lot, especially in the confirmation ministry and helped plan two retreats, the second of which I was Logistics Chair on the planning committee. I am good at it, but I know I still have a lot to learn, which makes me excited. There is always room for improvement in your life, no matter the area.
