ABOUT ME:
I am currently a junior in college at the University of Utah. I am a transfer student from Salt Lake Community College where I received my associate’s degree. I am majoring in mass communication with an emphasis in broadcast journalism. I love to be in the spotlight and realized this would be a great way for me to have it.
I love meeting new people and helping people as well. I am one of those people who loves to be involved. I have been involved in just about everything in the arts area. I have a drive and passion for anything in the arts category as well. The arts is one place where I really would like to focus my reporting on.
I also love to travel. Traveling is a great thing because it helps expand your horizons on just about everything, from the culture shock to the food and people. I have a passion for the European country and plan to tour all over it some day.
Family and friends are also a big part of my life. My family especially means everything to me, and I could not have gotten through many things I have been through without them. I am the luckiest girl in the world because of them.
