Desiree Anne Agngarayngay

Major: Televison

Hometown: Ewa Beach, Hawaii

Childhood ambition: To discover the world beyond paradise

Dream job: To be my own boss

Inspriation: People. It's their way of life and sharing of experiences that gets me inspired.

Favorite spot on campus: The Multicultural Affairs Lounge. That place is just filled with great people from all backgrounds, streaming out ideas left and right.

Favorite professor: Dr. Kathy Giles [faculty in English] really reached out to me during my first and toughest semester. She genuinely cared for the students and really took the time to appreciate our work.

Most humbling experience: Meeting people you can relate with, because often we don't take the time to hear their full story. Columbia makes us interact and get to know people on higher levels.

Music that puts me in the mood to get creative: Hip-hop instrumentals and 9th Wonder beats

Most necessary tools for creating: My mind and my computer

I take my coffee… I like regular coffee with cream and sugar, but I drink my Kona coffee black.

High tech? Low tech? or NO tech? All day I'm high on technology.
