I am a first-year journalism and political science student at Carleton University! When I am not writing for Mvslim or Society 19 I will probably be catching up on my favorite tv show or snuggled up with a good book. I love to travel and spend time with my friends and family. I enjoy baking delicious treats, watching movies and listening to some great music.
