Jaida Bayton

Multimedia Journalist

United States of America

My passion for all things journalism started in high school. I was in a mass communications program, where I learned how to produce television and radio segments, as well as write for newspapers and magazines. Ever since then, I've been hooked! I went on to college to major in broadcast journalism, and here I am almost 3 years later still in love. Not only is it my passion, but my outlet. Journalism has allowed me to express myself through video, photography, and writing.

I finally signed the lease for my very first apartment, so I wanted to take my time and decorate it to make sure that it looks like a humble abode instead of another college kid's apartment.

Scripps majors receive a lot of slack on their decision to be communication majors. People like to say that we took the easy way out or that we are the easiest major s on campus. In reality, we aren't.
