WadidoLA: #LAgirl: Frances UPDATE

Meet Frances. She's a true California girl - born in San Francisco, raised in Sacramento, and now living in Los Angeles. She is currently a USC Trojan, pursuing a dual degree in Business Administration and Communication, with a focus on Entrepreneurship and Entertainment! Her ultimate career goal is to be the face and CEO of her own Entertainment Media company, hosting her own talk show or entertainment news report.

Frances has already had a variety of experiences with Entertainment and Media. In 2009, she was selected to be a CoverGirl for SING TAO DAILY, the “leader of Chinese media serving the Chinese community worldwide”, After a year of appearances and performances, Frances was voted by readers and listeners of the magazine, newspaper, and radio station to win “MISS SING TAO 2009 – PEOPLE’S CHOICE”. For the past year, Frances has also been working with Simply Sporty, a fashionable women’s clothing line for college brands such as UCLA, SDSU, UNLV, ASU, and of course USC. Not only is she a marketing and promotional representative for the company, but she is also the face and host of the brand and its YouTube channel. She has also had experience in Media & Entertainment behind the scenes through her internships with CMPR, Young Hollywood, Rogers & Cowan, and the LA Sports & Entertainment Commission. Most recently, you can find Frances as one of the weather anchors for “Annenberg TV News” (ATVN), USC’s only news broadcast and “The Daily SCene” on USC’s television channel, TrojanVision. She is also the new fan correspondent for USCfootball.com segments!

Although Frances loves all things Entertainment, her main interests are in Music & Sports. She played piano competitively for 13 years and was an active participant in her high school’s Chamber Singers Choir. She grew up watching and loving her hometown team, the Sacramento Kings, and is apparently still bitter against the Los Angeles Lakers for the outcome of the 2002 playoffs (we’ll see if we can change her mind..) She tries to work out whenever possible but admits that she is a food lover! She loves spending time with her friends, and could not ask for a better group of people to be surrounded by.
