I am a magazine journalism major with a business minor at San Jose State University. Prior to being a student, I was a copy editor, designer, columnist and sometimes video editor for the Visalia Times-Delta in Visalia, Calif.

I also volunteered for a nonprofit low-power radio station and produced a weekly radio show as well as raised funds and coordinated events.
