About
It took me a while to adjust to the college student role and college as a whole but as soon as I got my priorities straight and figured out what I wanted to do with my life, I started to get better grades and I was able to completely focus on school. I took summer classes to get ahead and to be able to graduate on time. I took some leadership positions in clubs around campus.

Goals and interests
- Career goal
I intend on going to write for the Seattle Times and then become a TV news anchor as my Journalism career develops. I feel that I am more of a communicator than a writer, even though I think writing is very important. That is why I hope to do both throughout my career.
- Graduate school interests
I hope to attend the City University of New York school of Journalism or Columbia Journalism School for Grad school. I believe that grad school will give me a better idea on the world of journalism. It is a field that is constantly changing and growing.
- Outside the classroom
When I am not busy with school work or I am not at work, I enjoy learning about art (paintings and ancient arts), I enjoy reading world history.
