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.

April Ludgate

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
