I believe in the power of the written word. I've seen it transform lives first hand.
When I first stepped foot on Stanford's campus as a freshman, it was a foregone conclusion that I would major in creative writing. I took that invaluable experience and built on it during my time in UCLA's journalism program.
Now I have the daily privilege of using words to help bring new worlds into focus, important issues to the forefront, and positive change to people and their communities.
