Journalism has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. I can't tell you how many times I have tried to get a school paper started throughout my childhood. I was blessed to have been given the opportunity to be president of Beyond the Graphite, The Academy of Art University's Student News Club. During my time there I covered and wrote about a number of people and events.
