Sophomore Journalism Major with Minors in Child Development and Communication Studies

About Me

I am a sophomore at TCU pursuing a BS in Journalism and minors in Child Development and Communication Studies. Originally from Los Angeles, California, I was drawn to TCU by the resources and the community it has to offer. I love to travel, read, write and spend time with my loved ones. My greatest passion is my non-profit, Once Upon a Room, that decorates the hospital rooms of pediatric patients facing long-term stays in the hospital. Attached below you will find my Digital Portfolio for my Reporting class.
