I’ve been writing stories since I was 7, and I enjoy creating new worlds and having power with words that allow me to express myself. Writing as a journalist allows me to tell the stories of the people around me, and it puts me in a setting where I can meet new people and go find the stories that need to be told. I have a strong interest in pursuing a writing career, and my dream job is working as a travel journalist for National Geographic along with being a published author. I enjoy spending my free time reading books and volunteering at animal shelters.
