USC Off the Beaten Path: The Search for Spirituality

Allison Louie

A San Francisco native, I moved down to L.A. to attend the University of California, Los Angeles. After graduating in 2004, I did what most English Lit majors do: celebrity event planning in West Hollywood.

I decided to change tracks after a year of throwing parties, and try my hand at journalism. In 2007, I received an M.A. in Print Journalism from the University of Southern California (Bruin blasphemy).

Last summer, I went home to intern at ANG Newspapers, a Northern California newspaper chain, and was fortunate to have the opportunity to write for the Oakland Tribune, San Mateo County Times and Tri-Valley Herald.
