I'm a Mass Communications major with a track in Journalism and a minor in International Studies at Towson University.
I was born in Mexico City and grew up in Maryland. I'm fluent in both Spanish and English but I am hoping to learn more languages. My aspiration is to one day be an investigative journalist and international correspondent.
