Goals and interests

Career goal

I would love to be behind the scenes in radio or television, I choose these two mainly because of what media has become. At times I feel as if the media is so anxious to be the first one reporting a story that they end up spreading lies at times. I want to be the one to change that, I want to bring transparency to the media. I'm fully aware that this might be a struggle but I never shy away from a challenge!

Graduate school interests

My Grad school interests would be to be in Africana Studies, I'm interested in this field of study mostly because it will teach me my history. People say that you can't know where you are going until you know where you have come from, and that's my end goal... to know where I have come from.

Outside the classroom

I love to write poetry, this is my way of letting the world see who I truly am. I love to read new books, it's as if every book takes me on a new adventure. I like swimming and watching people perform usually at open mic nights (I like to see talent in its rarest form). I like meeting new people, to understand where someone came from and where they are headed motivates me to stand strong in my path.
