Musings from a young journalist

- Bio
- I like to find the connections, explore the data, and seek out new information. I have a very specific view of the world; I grew up in a very religious, relatively traditional Christian household and became a feminist atheist, so I have an interesting perspective on both sides of the liberal/conservative coin. I'd like to think that gives me insight and empathy it's difficult for either side of the spectrum to have.
I am a nerd, a gadfly, and a journalist. I am studying journalism and political science at San Diego State University. I am the editor in chief at SDSU's independent student newspaper, The Daily Aztec.
I am hoping to make a difference in the world without sacrificing my life, economic stability, or all of my personal time. I doubt I'll succeed, but it's worth trying.
