My name is Camila Pedrosa, and I'm a reporter for Arizona State University Odyssey. I joined ASU Odyssey in my first year at ASU studying journalism and mass communication at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication. I am also part of the Barrett Honors College at ASU.
This coming year, I'm planning on covering topics from entering college in the time of COVID to my favorite online personality quizzes I've ever taken. I'm always searching for unique things to write about and share into the world. I'm the kind of person to always have an interesting factoid to tell anyone, so my content will be somewhat similar to that!
I'm from Davis, California and have lived there since 2011. Before that I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area, Maryland and Argentina, where I was born. Maybe it's due to my various moves or the fact that I have to fly at least four hours to see my relatives, but I've loved traveling from a young age. When I returned from my first Disney World trip at age five, my preschool teachers asked me how the trip was, and I told them about the airport and the airplane, rather than Disney World. Traveling has always been a fun adventure from the second I leave my house to the second I return.
Besides being a journalist, I've been a dancer almost my entire life, trained in ballet but I've danced a wide variety of other styles like jazz, tap, hip hop, and even a bit of African dance. When I was younger, I had the opportunity to dance with 2 different professional companies that passed through my town, which I would say was the highlight of my dance career!
