Hi everyone! My name is Kirby Franzese and I’m a freshman here at Chapman University. My major is public relations and advertising in the Dodge school. I’m not from this area, which I have learned is not very common in Chapman students. I’m from a very small town called Marblehead, which is about thirty minutes north of Boston Massachusetts, right on the water. Marblehead is only four square miles and is a pretty boring town, so the change of scenery is refreshing. My mothers name is Tia and my father is Bill. My father is a lawyer along with my aunt and all of my uncles, and my mother works in a law office. My family is filled with lawyers, and I have absolutely no desire to be one, which my dad is not too fond of.

I’m a very outgoing and friendly person most of the time, and love meeting new people and trying new things. As far as sports go, I’m a cheerleader, which most people would say doesn’t count. I have been cheering since I was in the second grade, but I’m not sure if I’m going to continue with it here at Chapman next year. So far I love Chapman and southern California, it’s so much better then Boston, and I’m excited for the rest of the year.
