What does journalism mean to you? 

Journalism is a great way for me to combine two of my greatest interests—sports and writing. I’m hoping to continue on the journalism path in college and pursue it as a career.

What are your interests? 

I’ve played basketball since I was 6 years old, I took piano lessons for 5 years, and I love watching crime/mystery shows on Netflix.

What is your favorite quote?

“Your talent is God’s gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God.” 

Leo Buscaglia 

What did you want to be when you were 5? 

I wanted to play in the WNBA.

What are three little things that brighten your day? 

When it’s sunny out

Seeing my friends

Not having any work to do
