Hey y’all!!! My name is Marc-Louis Bartolome and I am a computer science major. This is my second year of college and I am excited to be a part of this year VSA board as its Academic Coordinator. I was born and raised in San Diego yet somehow it feels like I don’t even know all the places it has to offer, so if we get to know each other and become friends we should explore. I also love kpop, anime, and food; if you want to talk about any of those things. I am really excited to meet all the new faces that VSA will have this year so if you see me feel free to say Hi, Hey, Greetings, or any of the sorts. :D
