“I understand the importance of caring for others and making meaningful connections. I value the connections I have made with the Western and Bellingham communities and hope to maintain these throughout my life. I strive to continue the values my mother has taught me. Good listening and caring for others are essential in all aspects of my life.”

“I am most inspired by the human experiences that I encounter as a journalist. Being a student in the journalism department has shown me the power and influence behind another person’s story. It’s an extraordinary feeling when a source trusts me to represent who they are and what matters to them.”
