Narrative:
I am a student pilot and was doing touch and go practice. I had done my first touch and go of the day. I made my crosswind turn roughly .5 NM past the threshold of runway 11 at 700 feet. I continued a climb to 1;000 to 1;100 feet and made my turn downwind. Seconds into the downwind turn a twin-engine cessna cut up and across the nose of my plane with an estimated miss distance of 10 to 20 feet. I flew through the wake turbulence/prop wash of the twin-engine seconds later when I entered the air where the twin-engine had been. The twin-engine continued its ascent up and out of the airspace. After the near midair collision no calls came from the tower; the twin-engine; nor myself. I was given clearance for my next touch and go shortly after. No corrective action was taken by myself due to the lack of time to react to the near midair collision. I was not informed of the traffic or any actions to take nor do I remember the twin-engine having been given information on my location. I believe that this contributed to the incident and if information of this type had been given alongside preventative actions; such as an extended upwind for either aircraft involved; this incident could have been avoided. I believe it was unrealistic for ATC to assume both aircraft would spot each other with no advisory given the short timeline of events and close proximity.

Title: C152 student pilot reported a NMAC with a light twin during climbout from a touch and go.
