I majored in Journalism and Accounting. I started my college career in Accounting, but once I took my first journalism class I fell in love with it. I have a unique combination of a love of numbers and writing that sets me apart from others.
I enjoy both majors, but my love is in journalism. I really like writing and reporting. I enjoy going out and talking to people to find where the real story is, but I also enjoy editing. Whenever I read anything, I always read with an editing eye.
