Writer

United States

I am currently a 4th year English major at UCLA. I'm a senior editor for Her Campus at UCLA and also an intern for The Everygirl Media Group. Through my time at UCLA, I have learned the responsibilities of writing for a publication, collaborating on articles and ideas, and how to enhance my article with SEO keywords and photos.

I am looking for a chance to build more knowledge in the journalism and editorial field. I hope to continue writing for more lifestyle publications. I am most interested and passionate about writing wellness type of content whether that be mental or physical health, relationships, or food.
