Meet Angelina

Hi my name’s Angelina Siu :) I’m 18 and I’m from Hong Kong. I was an Administration of Justice major last semester and I also work with the student cadet program here at the SRJC. I enjoy dancing a lot and I speak a variety of languages although I’m not fluent in a lot of them…… I plan to transfer into perhaps Sociology or International Policy at a university next fall but it’s still undecided. A fun fact about me is that I did an exchange in Denmark for half a year, and I love travelling a lot.
