My name is Anny Mogollón. I am the eldest child of Peruvian parents and a first-generation scholar. I transferred from OCC to UCLA where I majored in Comparative Literature and English. I then taught English in Japan for about five years before coming back to the United States to continue my graduate studies. I obtained my M.A. in English with a concentration in 20th American Literature from CSULB. This coming Spring, I plan to complete my Ph.D studies in Literature with dual emphases in Critical Race and Ethnic Studies and Feminist Studies.
