SAN MARCOS- Amanda Carvallo,  who prefers to go by ,“Mandi”, is keeping the ball rolling with pursuing a degree at Texas State University. Mandi, currently a Sophomore with a Public Relations major, aspires to be a speech writer although she is hesitant to enter politics. 

Born and raised in Plano, TX, she decided to attend Texas State because not too many people from her town came here. Plus,  the nearby artsy city of Austin attracted her attention. Despite the fact that she is not vocally fluent in Spanish she understands it beyond doubt since her parents are from El Salvador and Venezuela.

As a Frank Ocean enthusiast she is inspired by one of his popular songs, “Close to You”. She enjoys writing and hanging out with her roommate’s cat in her spare time. Right now she is brainstorming for her blog in the class, “Fundamentals of Digital Online Media” and hopes to spark up some conversation with her topics. Don’t be surprised if you hear this determined individuals name in the nearby future!
