Dear first year…what I wish I would have known…

When I graduated high school in June 2007, I basically had two weeks before I started college since I was enrolled in a summer enrichment program. And at first I was definitely not happy that I was going. I wanted to use that last summer before college to rest, hang out and do absolutely nothing. … Continue reading →

13 months and counting…

13 months…that’s how long I’ve kind of been in the DMV. Back in June 2011, I made more first semi move to DC to start as an intern with NPR and more than a year later, I’m still here. A year ago, you could have asked me if staying in DC was what I wanted … Continue reading →

Talk is cheap and my ears are bleeding

When I was in high school, I got the chance to model in an annual fashion show. And like any live production, there a million practices, there a few hurdles but at the end of the day, we were able to put together a good show.

Well, I’ve made it…kind of…PUBLISHED!

I’ve been with NBC for about 7 months now (yikes – that’s a long time) and last month, I had my first two pieces published on the web! (insert a series of happy dances). My first one was an all natural sound package about a major arts event in the DC area called Artomatic. And … Continue reading →

Tie dye is pretty darn patriotic!

Yesterday was America’s birthday and it was my third 4th of July in the district! Oh snap! I’ve been doing this DC thing for a while! Anywho, this was my third and probably one of the best 4th of Julys I’ve had because it was pretty carefree, laid back and I ended my night watching … Continue reading →

What is your 4th of July?

Every year, America celebrates their independence day from British. It is indeed a very important day but it wasn’t a holiday that everyone celebrated.
