Along with my studies in Journalism at Towson University, I am minoring in Creative Writing as well. Writing is just one of the many outlets I have. Growing up, one disposable camera would not suffice. I would go through a disposable camera within a day, just taking pictures of everything. This was only the beginning of my love for photography. If I wasn’t taking pictures, I was constantly singing. Sometimes both at the same time. When I initially came to Towson, I was an Elementary Education major and suddenly changed to Exercise Science because of my interest in health and fitness. After three semesters is when I finally found my niche in writing and became the Journalism major I am today. It also gives me the freedom to write about my variety of interests and utilize my skill in listening by being able to portray someone’s story exactly how they tell it.
