About Me
Writing has always been a passion of mine. From the first journalism class I took in 7th grade I knew I wanted to write my way through life. As a journalism student at Cal State Dominguez Hills, I've worked really hard to develop my skills as a journalist. During my senior year, I worked as the Opinion Editor and a staff writer on our campus newspaper, The Bulletin.
As the Opinion Editor, I've had to write stories that helped me find my voice and things I'm passionate about. I've written about issues within the Black community, the immigration fight in America and different incidents in pop culture. My ultimate goal is to become a Beauty Editor, which was great inspiration for my senior project.
