My last memorable overseas trip before Covid was in 2019… A three-month trip meeting up with family, different friends and my boyfriend at the time across Eastern and Western Europe, the Greek islands, and NYC. Huge!

35. What is the one thing you want everyone to know about you?
Before journalism, I was a film student and I used to create solo animation projects and enter them into national and international film festivals… and actually won some awards! However, it wasn’t my passion in the end, and I began to figure that out during a script writing unit where I fell in love with the form of writing rather than camerawork/editing, etc.
