the story

of a journalist

Who I am

I am a journalist, a change maker, truth seeker and storyteller. Currently working at CNN.

As a first-gen. college student, I studied international affairs, Russian, journalism and mass communication for seven years. What gets me up in the morning is knowing that I get to witness history and use my honed skills to bring the most important stories to the world.

In my free time I study Korean, Spanish and Chinese. Sometimes I wish I could download the world’s languages, history and cultural knowledge into my head like in The Matrix movies. But that wouldn’t be the same as experiences them, which is what a good journalist does.
