Why did you choose to get involved in storytelling?

I got into story telling because I wanted to spread messages to inform and help people in my school and area.

What story are you most proud of?

A story that i am most proud of is a video I did for my schools’ councilors. The video was informing new students of all the schools options with core classes and electives as well and interviews with the head of each department.

How can youth media change the world? 

Youth media can greatly impact the world by using social media to spread information and guidelines about how to stay safe.

Who is your role model?

My role model is Kobe Bryant. Sadly he did pass but he had extreme work ethic and willingness to become the greatest. I wish to develop that work ethic for my own life so I could become the best me.
