Get to know me…

Growing up, I always loved creating. The 12-year-old me was often starting new books, both reading and writing them. My free time was spent making art… painting, drawing, pottery, collages, whatever I could find. These hobbies turned into passions, which carried over into my adulthood, and makes me the person I am today.

Now, pursuing Journalism & Communication, and Planning, Public Policy and Management, I am able to dive deeper into the professional world of creating. Since being at the School of Journalism and Communication, I have been exploring these creative elements academically.
