Welcome to the second segment of "Meet The Reporter."
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 I knew since I was 14-years-old that I wanted to be a journalist. I don't remember exactly how I found out about Cronkite, but I knew I was destined to attend the school.
The first time I took a tour of the downtown campus I immediately knew I would fit in there. ASU is a fast-paced campus full of exciting, innovative energy that puts you in a good mood. This was what I needed stepping into my adult years.
It was a little intimidating to pick a college fresh out of high school, but I knew I was making the best decision of my life. My heart was telling me I needed to go to ASU.
The school is extremely inclusive and as a student, you already feel engulfed in the major you are striving for. Cronkite provided me with plenty of classes that gave me the reality of what being a journalist would look like. From writing my own radio script and talking on the air to interviewing ASU officials for my articles, the school has benefitted me in every way possible.
Now I am a writer for ASU Odyssey and am loving it! As a junior, I can't wait to see what else ASU has to offer. I hope to get plenty more journalism experiences and practices as I make my way into the real world.
Until the next Meet The Reporter!
