In my time as a reporter/editor, I've covered beats like aerospace, business, crime, finance, government, insurance technology and tourism. My freelance work has appeared in the L.A. Times, LB Post, and Orange County Register. I recently completed an M.A. in Communications at Cal State University Fullerton, earning a 4.0 GPA. Academic achivements include Kappa Tau Alpha (academic excellence in journalism and mass communication), Top Scholar Award, graduating in top 1% of my cohort. My thesis focused on advertising in an emerging industry using legitimacy theory and semiotics. https://zenodo.org/record/7379482#.ZF0lduzML0r
