''' Talisha Quinta

Talisha Quinta (born May 13, 1993) is an Indonesian student currently living in Pasadena, California. Quinta spent the first sixteen years of her life in Jakarta before arriving in United States to attend Pasadena City College, and later Art Center College of Design.

''' Early Life '''

Quinta was born in Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia. Her father works as a hairdresser and her mother is a full- time housewife. She has one older brother and one younger sister. As a little girl, Quinta showed interests in areas such as Mathematics, Art, and Literature. During her early teens she began studying Japanese due to her enormous love for anime and manga at that time.

Study

Right before she did her IGCSE O' level examination, Quinta decided that she would like to go to college in the States, just like her brother, who was attending Pepperdine University at that time. She figured she would do well majoring in Finance, although she was not totally sure that that would be the right major for her. Moved by the YouTube videos of Thai commercials she saw, she realized that she has a passion for advertising. Internet research brought her to the website for a school named Art Center College of Design. With the lack of experience and time needed to build a portfolio, she decided to go to Pasadena City College first.

Quinta went to United States in August 2009. She was enrolled in Pasadena City College for a year. During this time, she met her partner in crime, Adinda Habsari. Both of them took an advertising course at Art Center at Night before finally submitting their portfolios to Art Center College of Design. Quinta began her study in Advertising on Spring 2011, and is currently on her sixth term. Adinda and her has been inseparable ever since.

Personal Life

When she's not occupied by her Art Center life, she could easily be found sleeping, reading, cooking, shopping for candles and shoes, or watching The Big Bang Theory.

Trivia

Quinta made it a routine to visit Japan at least once in every two years. During her last visit in January 2012, she claimed that she could survive eating only edamame for her entire life. However, after being diagnosed with mild Arthritis shortly after her vacation, she was forced to put a brake on her edamame addiction.

Contrary to her small stature, Quinta enjoys activities that pump the adrenaline such as Skydiving, bungee jumping, or going to Six Flags.

Quinta neither wears nor owns any pair of jeans since she was 13.
