Who I am thus far:

I'm a multi-media student journalist working towards a career in the music industry, hopefully as something in the tune of media management/production. I am currently the opinion editor and podcast host at The Daily Titan, Cal State Fullerton's student newspaper, and freelance in media curation/content creation for a few musicians. Below are a few stories pulled from these sources and previous others. In this transformative time in journalism, I believe new ground is being broken in terms of what we do with media and how to use it, so it's exciting to be a part of the industry as is blooms into something new before us!

Social media presents itself as a landscape for change, but it falls short of actually making a difference.
