School: The Arts Academy at Benjamin Rush 

Grade: 11th

Background/Interests/Hobbies: I was born and raised in Philadelphia. I’m a big fan of literature, music, as well as musical theatre. I’m part of the Chambers Acapella Choir at my school, varsity volleyball, as well as a member of both book club and news club. 

Reason for why I applied to workshop: The reason I applied to the workshop is because I wanted to have the chance to work in a more professional setting and have a chance to excel more as a writer before committing to journalism as a career choice.

Future Plans: My future plans are to continue the learning path of journalism and go to college for it as well.
