My Thoughts

I have a passion for creating content and telling local stories that make an impact. Covering the Mr. and Miss Indian ASU pageant was a meaningful experience for me, as I am Navajo and deeply connected to the Native community. After a year of traveling to 11 of Arizona’s 22 Native communities, former Miss Indian ASU Jennifer Jones passed her title to new representatives, Matthew Yatsayte and Gypsy Pete. Both contestants have been actively involved in ASU’s Native American student organizations, with Yatsayte’s platform focusing on honoring cultural roots while embracing progress. Pete, on the other hand, aims to empower young Native women to find success while maintaining a balance between their culture and western society. Covering these stories gives me a sense of pride, as they celebrate the strength and unity of the Native community at ASU.

My Thoughts

I have a passion for creating content and telling local stories that make an impact. Covering the E.A.R.T.H. club at ASU West campus resonated with me deeply as a Native American, where sustainability and respect for Mother Earth and Father Sky are values ingrained in us from childhood. The Environmental Advocacy, Restoration and Technology for Humanity club is dedicated to fostering a sustainable future through student-led initiatives. From workshops on making DIY eco-friendly products to campus yard sales, the club raises awareness of sustainable living. Their partnership with Borderlands Food Bank, providing affordable surplus produce to students, is just one example of how they’re turning their ideas into real benefits for the community. This club’s work embodies the environmental stewardship I grew up with, making it a story I am passionate about telling.

My Thoughts

I have a passion for creating content and telling local stories that make an impact. Covering ASU’s Feed It Forward sustainable awareness initiative during the Food Systems & Beyond event highlighted the university’s commitment to reducing its environmental impact. In honor of Earth Month, six ASU organizations showcased how sustainable food choices contribute to environmental well-being and foster local economies and food security. Featuring locally grown produce, handpicked by Aramark, ASU dining halls are offering healthier, plant-based options to reduce the carbon footprint. Krista Hicks, the sustainability manager at Aramark, emphasized their partnership with the American Heart Association to boost fruit and vegetable consumption. Reporting on events like this feels important, especially as sustainability aligns with values I grew up with—caring for the earth and fostering healthier communities.

My Thoughts

This was a fun project in which I got to research some interesting lesser known facts about Cheetos and then create an infographic using Adobe Illustrator. At the time my experience in using the Adobe Creative Suite was quite limited and I cherished any opportunity to get to create in Illustrator.
