Journalism has always sparked an interest within my college career. I spend a large amount of time consuming the media around me, whether it be social media or media that is spread by larger entities within our society.

Outside of the classroom I enjoy spending time with my 2 year old yorkie named Pumba and traveling with my friends to new cities.
