Broadcast Journalism like you have never seen!
Basically I am a temperamental person with insane ambition. I believe in hard work all day, everyday. My career goal is to become a foreign news correspondent/investigative journalist with a philanthropic influence, focusing on women's rights, social issues, and mistreatment around the world.
