The first time UCLA came into my life, I was living in Florida and it was 1984. A silly song by comedienne Julie Brown called “Cause I’m a Blonde” was all over the radio. I was just a little girl but I could easily crack my older brother up by singing the lyrics…
I just want to say that being chosen as this month’s Miss August is
like a compliment I’ll remember for as long as I can.
Right now I’m a freshman in my fourth year at UCLA but my goal is
to become a veterinarian cause I love children

Thanks, Sandy! Go Bruins!
