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.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
