I am a college student currently trying to learn as much about the field of journalism as I can. In my free time I like to spend time with my family, watch movies, read, go hiking, and write poems to publish on my blog. I love music and performing; in high school I acted in school musicals every year. I have always been passionate about social justice and uplifting unheard voices. During my junior year of high school I had the opportunity to attend a semester away program in Colorado where I went on backpacking trips and extended my passion to environmental justice.

In a world becoming increasingly enveloped in technology and misguided notions of progress, I believe too many people and natural beings/processes are being left behind. I am a strong believer that words are the key to education and empowerment. Humanity's greatest hope at success is remembering our duty to each other and our planet. I hope in my time on this Earth I help accomplish that goal!
