Longform Biography

From the day I was born, I have been a globe-trotting. I am proud to say I am a daughter of a traveling diplomat. Traveling all over the world has shaped me to become an aspiring journalist. I had to adapt to the change in culture and unfamiliar environment from a very young age. Writing and sharing my experiences was a way I could escape into an imaginary mind-cave. Being a journalist has given me opportunity to meet people I wouldn’t have been able to meet without this job. I love documentaries, long-forum journalism, pop culture, and social pieces. I hope to travel the world and write/cover/shoot stories to share and hopefully impact an audience.
