Hi ASU community! My name is Shiaira Bradley and I am beginning my journey as a reporter for the Arizona State University Odyssey. I am a junior in high school and I have joined online as a way to delve into the world of journalism. I love writing and can cover pretty much anything: politics, health & wellness, fashion, you name it!

Here's a little bit about myself: I hail from California but I have lived in Arizona almost my entire life. I love music and can listen to almost anything from rap to rock to alternative. I enjoy trying new things and going places I've never been before. I'm always down to try something new!

In my free time, I enjoy writing fictional works (I published my first novel in 2017!) and I hope someday to be a bestselling author. I also have created a podcast called Spoken Mentalities where my cohost and I talk about issues affecting minority communities. I also enjoy reading, playing improv games, and binge watching 90s sitcoms.
