My name is Vanessa De La Torre, and I am a reporter for Arizona State University Odyssey. I joined the Odyssey Online as a sophomore at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism at ASU. I am currently studying Journalism with a focus in public relations and a minor in Business. Going into my sophomore year, I am covering topics ranging from student life, lifestyle, and more! Aside from Odyssey, I love photography, volunteering, and exploring different parts of whatever city I find myself in.

I am from Tucson, Arizona and I am a sunset enthusiast. With these Arizona sunsets, there is simply no better time of day. A little fun fact about me, I once worked at Chuck E Cheese and was not only best friends with the mascot, but was the mascot at times. Imagine that. I believe the best day of my life was when Khalid sang "Young, Dumb, and Broke" to me from the other side of the arena, but I swear we made eye contact. I love community service and seeing how little actions go a long way. I am a big believer in taking life one day at a time.
