I love Asian food as well, one of my favorite activities to do with friends is getting all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ.

Hi, I'm Kevin and I'm one of three social media managers. I have an instagram addiction so I'm a pretty good fit.  My dream job is to be a time traveler but I know that probably won't  happen in my lifetime. I've always wanted to experience the Wild West. I love eating and watching TV. At the moment I'm really obsessed with Ninjago. My favorite character is Cole, the Master of Earth. I think instead of fighting and arguing, we should have dance battles.

Hi there my name is Nico Estilo! I am from Oakland California and Filipino American! I enjoy eating everything and trying everything! Some of my favorite dishes are Fried Bangus and Garlic rice, Sinigang, Burgers, amatriciana and Bolognese. When I'm not eating, I enjoy watching movies and TV shows, playing video games, building legos, going to the gym, rock climbing and going out and exploring. A fun fact about me is that I broke my arm while snowboarding and did not know and kept snowboarding for 4 hours on April 1st.

 Hey everyone I am Marissa Martinez! I’m from Los Angeles and love to experience new things. I love thrifting and going to the gym in my free time. Here at SF State, I’m studying Business with a concentration in Marketing. I enjoy graphic designing and seeing everything come together. I would say my favorite food has to be anything that has pesto in it. Pesto makes any dish 10x better!
