Being that I was a voracious writer and a newspaper/yearbook nerd in high school, I decided to enroll at Arizona State University’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication, to study multimedia journalism. I am obsessed with the entertainment industry and everything pop culture. My writing reflects that love, and I hope my fervor for the written word will one day translate to a career as a features writer for a national magazine. I’m also afraid of dirt, an avid blogger, a perfectionist, a bad driver, overly dramatic, and would much rather watch red carpet coverage of the Grammys than the NFL draft, any day.
