Hi Everyone! My name is Desiree Negrete and I'm returning to CSUN after taking a break from my journey in education to pursue a career in the corporate world of insurance and personal injury law. That detour from my passion of studying literature back then ultimately led to the catalyst of unemployment that I find myself in now. While I'm certain that sounds terrifying (it is!), I'm quickly learning that the plot twists in life often take us on the scenic routes we need to better envision where we are headed. I now have the space, time, perspective and energy to dive in as full time student preparing to graduate in December of 2023. While I'm not entirely certain of what's next for me, I'm trusting that my ardor for learning and writing will point me in the right direction as a I rewrite my path.
