Carl Berry

Cascadia College Alumni
I am from Juanita/Kirkland, Washington.
I attended Lake Washington High School,
and am a member of the class of 2008.
I studied film for a short period of time
before deciding to give something else
a try. After getting my AIS degree from
Cascadia, I transferred to Montana State
University to complete a Bachelor’s
degree in Environmental Design. Outside
of my studies I like to hike, play soccer,
watercolor, and take pictures. I currently
live in Bozeman, Montana.

I’ve always lived my life with a passion for writing. I feel like if you can use words correctly,
then you can make anyone feel exactly what you’re feeling. My passion in life is to help
people and make them happy. When I was in middle school, I started a club that was
geared specifically toward helping people smile. I hope that one day my words will be
known and lived by some of the greats.

Cascadia College Student
I’ve been writing poems since I was a
freshman in high school, along with writing
music, mostly for guitar. I’ve been playing
clarinet since fifth grade, and have always
been a very musical and creative person.
I also have a Facebook page called Silver
Lining where there are some more creative
things I’ve done.

I’m a freshman at Cascadia and I pursue
the marvelous moment for each corner in
the world. I have not published my work
before; this is my first time showing my
work to the public. My recent goal is to
improve my photography skills to reach
the first class of the 500px. I always use
Instagram and 500px. The name of my
Instagram is camera2333 and my 500px
page is: https://500px.com/lokichen
