Hello! I am an American studying journalism at Cardiff! Journalism and media have always been passions of mine because I get to tell stories of people from all places. As of now I hope to work in sports journalism or some sort of travel journalism. I love to be around family and friends and really just enjoy the moment. Ask me anything you want to about know about Cardiff or the courses or really anything you are curious about! I’d love to chat with you!
