Bio: My interest in journalism came from my interest in telling stories. Before I came to UNC-CH, I had to commute an hour each way between school and home. Well, that ride would be really boring without sharing stories from the day. So, I spent that hour eating "on-the-way-home" snacks and telling my family all of the cool things that happened in school, updates about how I was doing in my classes, and, of course, all the juicy gossip of teenager life. That's the best and most important part of journalism...telling audience members stories they can use, benefit from, or enjoy.
