About Me
I am a broadcast journalist, social media creator, and podcast host who recently earned his bachelor degree from Cal State Fullerton. Since 2017, I've been deeply involved in media starting with a YouTube vlog.
This experience ignited my passion for storytelling whether through feature news stories, podcast interviews, or social media graphics. My current goal is to make an impact behind or in front of the camera. I'm eager to learn more about media in order to create a safe place where anyone can feel welcome to tell their story.

This year at Mt. SAC I decided to switch my major to journalism after finding success with my YouTube channel and Podcast. My desire to change majors came from wanting to learn from media professionals instead of relying on my own experience.
During my first 2 years at Mt. SAC, I expanded my knowledge in sports medicine which has contributed to my sports journalism.
