Affiliations
Outside of the newsroom, two of my favorite activities to fill my free time are reading and journaling! I love finding new ways to be creative, whether it's through writing, reflecting, or creating something new. Not only do I thoroughly enjoy these activities, but they also help to keep me inspired both in and out of the newsroom!
