About Me

Hi Everyone!

My name is Annie Ewald and I am from a very small town in Northern California, roughly 12 hours from Santa Barbara. I moved here 4 years ago and have been loving it ever since. The ocean has always played a huge role in my life whether that is surfing, scuba diving or just swimming. Needless to say, the warmer weather and water in Santa Barbara caters to those hobbies a bit more than 50-degree summers in my hometown. I have an older brother who lives in San Diego, so I feel I have explored almost all of the California Coast and its vastness. I love to be outside - hiking, running, at the beach and exploring new places. I have traveled all over the world and plan on continuing that as I get older. I feel that traveling is such a great way to gain first hand knowledge and experience the lifestyle of another culture, which I find is almost always eye opening. Every city or town has something new and refreshing to offer, and that’s what I have loved about Santa Barbara so far. After moving here, I spent three years at Santa Barbara City College and am so excited to spend my last year at Antioch. I am choosing to major in communications although am still not quite sure what exactly I want to do after college.  I love interacting with others and lending a helping hand to those in need when I can. One of the reasons I am excited to be at Antioch is because I feel I will obtain the skills and support I need to find my passion and career goals. I love smaller class settings and being able to create a close relationship with my peers and teachers, so I believe this is a great fit for me. I can’t wait to see what this semester has to offer!
