Welcome to the second segment of "Meet The Reporter," well in this case "Meet The President."

Our team of writers at ASU Odyssey will be writing monthly "Meet The Reporters" as an effort to make things fun for our readers and let you get to know us!

Why I Chose ASU?

I chose ASU because of The Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication.

I've always been interested in writing, but I never knew what kind of writing until I got a little bit older. Once I realized the endless possibilities of a journalism degree, I immediately wanted to go to the Walter Cronkite School!

I visited the Tempe Campus multiple times growing up as my family vacationed in Scottsdale, Arizona every March to support the San Francisco Giants during Spring Training.

I always liked the school growing up and would joke about going there since I visited every year. Little did I know I would end up becoming a Sun Devil and embarking on the greatest journey of journalism!

As I start my junior year of school, I've already been able to do so much in journalism, through school and professionally.

Before school, I engaged in a self-made daily updates Instagram page for the San Francisco Giants with my friend Sophia Susac from high school! This is what initially sparked my interest in social media and reporting, especially being the first to report. The account @SFGiantsGirls is still live today and reached its highest following of 10,000.

Now as a Cronkite student, I've become a Digital Editor for The State Press, a reporter and the President of ASU Odyssey along with a leadership position that directly works with headquarters, and much more!

Reporting has been one of my favorite elements of journalism! From interviewing bands to freelance writing, I've had an amazing experience. Recently at State Press, our newsroom broke national news first before any major news outlet, that was another very exciting thing to witness!

The likes of Anderson Cooper have come to our school and have been able to mentor us through their visits! I've seen the business side of journalism through courses and have even proposed a whole business plan to a radio station! PR has also been introduced to us along with Mass Communication!

I've hosted my own music show with Vanessa Gonzalez on Blaze Radio and have been apart of many clubs including AWSM! My latest endeavor was joining the Pink Campus Rep team, which has taught me marketing skills, event planning skills, and much more!

I cannot wait to see what the rest of my time at ASU holds, and I hope you enjoy learning about why all of our creators chose this school!

Until the next Meet The Reporter!
