My name is Alexia Marie Hill, and I am a new reporter for The Odyssey Online. I am currently a first year student at Arizona State University majoring in Journalism and Mass Communications. I also am a part of Barrett, The Honors College at ASU and plan to join some fun journalism clubs!

I took newspaper for three years in high school, and during Senior year I became editor in Chief. I've also been published 3 times by Arizona's local newspaper The Glendale Star. I love writing in general, but specifically any type of editorials and anything artistic! I plan to write about my favorite music to share with you guys, interesting topics for debate, and local events or places in Arizona that are worth all the hype. Although I love writing about anything and I am open to new ideas and perspectives!

I was born and raised in Glendale, Arizona, but I love to travel! My dream places to travel to are Italy, Tbilisi, Oregon, and the redwoods forest in California. Aside from writing, I love creating art, writing poetry, working out and listening to music. I have been really into spoken poetry and Lo-fi playlists on YouTube! Furthermore, my all time favorite musical artists would have to be Tyler, The Creator, WS Boogie, and J. Cole (yes I like other genres of music besides rap but lyrical rap makes my heart happy).

I'm really excited to be writing for The Odyssey and attending Arizona State University. I like to be as positive as I can and I take any opportunity I can to grow. This is only the beginning!
