About Me

I'm a junior studying print journalism and political science at USC. I have worked as a freelance reporter for the up-and-coming hyperlocal news site Patch.com, covering education, municipal government and city events in Beverly Hills and West Hollywood. I enjoy reading news on the go with the handy Los Angeles Times and Associated Press applications on my iPhone, but nothing compares to reading the paper. I like watching CNN to catch up on political happenings and I look to the New York Times for its international coverage. I keep up with friends on Facebook, but detest Twitter. While growing up using a PC, I have become a fond user of Mac. Technology has intimidated me, though I have learned the basic art of Photoshop, Soundslides and Audacity by pursuing my passion for photography. In three years, I plan to be attending law school. I hope to have careers as an investigative reporter and as an attorney advocating for those who cannot afford legal representation. I love being creative and crafty! I have worked as arts and crafts director at a summer camp and I started a monthly craft program for special needs children at a downtown Los Angeles elementary school.
