           I had the privilege of meeting Nerissa Pacio. She was the style editor of 7×7 magazine, and still is a contributing editor for the magazine. She went to UCLA and studied English. Here she joined the paper and got to interview people such as Nicholas Cage. After graduating she was a freelance writer, but the realized that she should go to Graduate School. Because of this realization, she went to Berkley. Eventually she came to work at 7×7 and was the style editor for two years. Now she is currently a contributing editor and is teaching fashion journalism. When asked why she is now teaching, she said that working at different publications and working with interns and younger people pushed her into teaching. She is a very inspiring woman and meeting her has increased my love of writing.
