Six-word Memoir: Joking about problems makes them smaller.

Why did you choose to get involved in storytelling?

I liked how movies could make an otherwise boring or uninteresting shot and edit it to create a very dramatic scene. I would also like to do the same.

What story are you most proud of?

I covered a story on Texas farmers who were being affected by the changing climate and severe storms. This was a viewpoint not often discussed by the media, and I was proud to be able to tell their story to the world.

How can youth media change the world? 

Youth media can show how even teens are doing their job and staying at home, and so should everyone else.

Who is your role model?

My future self.
