"Writing has always been my passion, and in college a professor recommended I look into writing for the news, because I love working under pressure and staying up to date with current news stories and events. I interned with a local television station and quickly realized that my writing skills would fit perfectly in the career, and I have never looked back since that day."

I am very passionate about writing and journalism. I grew up in an area filled with crime and noticed the media didn't really cover the issues in my community. This is what prompted me to pursue a career in journalism with the hopes of using my talents to bring change.
