University of Southern California Allergy-Friendly College Campus Guide

Hi! I’m Ally, and I attend the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, CA. I graduate May 2026 and am majoring in Game Design and Interactive Design with a minor in Customer Analytics. Currently, I’m interning for an A.I. Cybersecurity company but I plan on working on the operations side of gaming post-grad. I manage peanut, tree nut (except almonds), and chickpea allergies and have shared 96 reviews on the Spokin app. Follow me there @allykustera and on Instagram @ally_kuu.
