What interests you about journalism?

Journalists write and prepare the news that the world hears/reads and talk about day to day. Regardless of what type of news you might seek out, there are journalists working to find those stories and broadcast them in various ways. News distribution and circulation is something that has been around for centuries, yet the field continues to grow as the world grows more social with media. Imagine a world without NEWS and the people that share it. Journalism makes the world go 'round!

If you ruled the world, what would you change on day one?  

If I ruled the world I would change the number one focus to combating climate change! We cannot ignore the distress we're putting our planet through and the undeniable repercussions of this that are becoming increasingly evident.

We only have one Earth and we need to take care of it.

What’s on your bucket list?

I'd love to move to New York at some point in my life, see Radiohead in concert, and skydive. Not particularly in that order.

The U.S. surgeon general asked citizens to stop buying face masks unless absolutely necessary. He tweeted on Feb. 29, They are NOT effective in preventing general public from catching #Coronavirus, but if healthcare providers can’t get them to care for sick patients, it puts them and our communities at risk!

“Feather Star” by Ali Baudoin. This sculpture was first installed at EvCC in 1978 in the old Trojan Student Union building. The creator of this piece, Ali Baudoin, shared in his artist’s statement that “the visual concept for the sculpture originated from a type of crinoid - a flowerlike sea animal known as a feather star. Of particular interest in relation to the sculpture are their pointed feather-like arms that bend and twist with the ocean currents.”  Tragically, the Trojan Student Union building was destroyed in 1987 by an arsonist fire. The Feather Star sculpture survived this and was eventually placed back in front of the current Student Union building named after Gary Parks, the fireman who lost his life to that fire in 1987.   Jeanne Leader shares that this sculpture can now be thought of as a representation of a Phoenix rising from the ashes. She expands on this, “The Feather Star has become a symbol of renewal and rebirth for the college. It is the inspiration for the EvCC logo, which consists of three spires backed by a rising sun.”
