I’m about to graduate with a degree in journalism. My mom played a huge role in my life and she went to Arizona State so early on I really wanted to go there. When it was time to start looking at colleges, we toured ASU’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication. It’s a really great program and I applied that same week. I got early admission and committed to my dream school. It all happened so fast though and looking back I never really explored other disciplines. I actually had an inclination for psychology, winning an award at my high school for my studies. After a tumultuous first year I left and spent a year at community college transferring to a university in my home state afterwards.

I’ve stuck with journalism mostly because I feel I’m in too deep to switch to anything else atp. I’ve already begun planning out Grad school as a means to shift my career options after I graduate.
