This is my third year on student press and my fifth year of taking journalism. I love to write, read, eat, sleep, and procrastinate. :) I’m in DECA, Academy Ambassadors, SHF, and Days For Girls at school. I also play the flute, am a freelance writer published in Business Insider, Redefy, Urban Asian, The Tempest, and more. I'm also the co-Managing Editor for GenRise Media. In my spare time, I like to listen to music, watch YouTube, and spend time with my family. Check out my website.
