Stories from Venice
Last summer, I went on a two-and-a-half-week trip throughout Italy with my cousin and grandma. Our visit to Venice was particularly memorable and so I’ve highlighted some moments from that trip here.
Mangoes and Memories
In this piece, I explored my desire to travel when I was younger and how this has impacted me as I have grown up and gotten to experience the world more.
A Harvest of Memories

The Journey
My piece is about my journey traveling across the world to build my confidence in the science world. I was taught to make history in breaking the stereotypes of women in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math).

Though difficult, using elements of each country, I’ve managed to paint a picture of how I view them and their importance to me.
