About
I'm a senior in high school looking to major in journalism or film and television. I have a passion for advocacy and storytelling and with a degree in either of these fields, I hope to continue to give a voice to those who cannot speak for themselves. I would like to have a career in the media whether that be working on television or behind the camera.
