ODYSSEY

After the 2016 Presidential Election, I attended a few Anti-Trump Rallies to support the cause, as well as to gain further insight into other's reasons for their support. I made a video of one of the rallies I attended, and a few days later one of the editors from Odyssey reached out to me via social media asking me to join their community. Making videos has always been a hobby of mine, but I was eager to start taking my creations more seriously. I am now a creator at Odyssey and am excited to see where this path will lead me.

TRAVEL

In tangent to being a creator at Odyssey, I also work as a flight attendant for a United States airline. Being able to travel so much has allowed me to observe geographically unique trends culturally, meteorically, and much more. Utilizing Odyssey as well as my airline, I seek to isolate those trends to share them with my viewers.

LGBTQ+

The LGBTQ+ community has always been intensely scrutinized. Being that I represent not only the T (transgender) but also the L (lesbian) in the acronym, society's unacceptance of the community has had a great impact on my life. Utilizing videos, articles, and other mediums I will strive to undermine the countless prejudices surrounding the community.

POLITICS

The United States of America has always had a large impact on the world since its succession from Great Britain in 1776. Since the election of Donald Trump in 2016, I have become increasingly more invested in the state of the nation, its affairs, and its citizens. With the political transition, a vast majority of American's are being subjugated to the jeopardization of many of their civil liberties. Realistically speaking it can be difficult to find media sources that will provide viewers with factual information, therefore I will continuously try to incorporate factual information from reputable sources in my content.

MUSIC

Music has been important to me ever since my mother started teaching me how to play the flute at three years old. When I was able to, I took up vocal performance, and have sung in various ensembles and groups til this day. In my mid-teens, I began teaching myself how to play piano and acoustic guitar. Later on, I started arranging some original pieces and performing them locally. Finally after becoming a flight attendant I took up violin because of its portable size. Music continues to be important to me.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
