At my home in Tuolumne, California there is a driveway etched with bike skid marks, “A House on Mango Street” by Sandra Cisneros sitting on the patio table, and the sound of “Mr. Tambourine Man” by Bob Dylan playing from radio speakers. When I moved to Biola University in 2018, I continued listening to all of Bob Dylan’s albums, although I expanded my music taste a little. Unfortunately, I did not have room in my car to bring my bike to college, but you can find me skateboarding when I am not reading books or writing for the Chimes.
I decided to study journalism in my senior year of high school because I knew that I loved writing and talking to people. In the spring semester of my freshman year, I started writing for the news section of the Chimes and fell in love with the process of putting together an article and seeing my own name in the byline.
This year, I will be the Opinions Editor and I am so excited to serve the Biola community by helping to give people the opportunity to share their opinions and discuss important topics with others. I look forward to seeing how God uses the Chimes to further His Kingdom this year!
