👨🏼💻 A little more about me
🏙 I’m a Chicago-land native and a huge fan of 🍕(specifically, this kind).
I got my start in journalism in middle school 👦🏼. First reporting for a 📰 local park district newspaper, then for the 🎙Scholastic Kids Press Corps (here is my bio back then). In high school I was the first digital editor for our school newspaper.
Recently I received an official diagnoses for caffeine abuse. That said, I 💙 LOVE ☕️COFFEE. I have been a barista twice. I’m currently 💚 working at Starbucks (in addition to my full-time job) to take part in the amazing Starbucks College Achievement Plan (basically, free college).
🎓 I am finally 🥳 finishing my degree in media studies at 🏫 Arizona State University at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communications. (And that’s the way it is.)
I have 😻 two cats, love to read 📖 (here’s what I am reading right now) and 📝 write. My favorite thing is life is to ✈️ travel (I still have a lot of the world to see!)
✌️Anyway, I think I have covered all of my bases. Thanks for getting to know me! Please 📲 connect with me. Also, here’s a look at my 📄 resume.
