Hi! My name is Graciela. And I just finished three semesters at the Courier at Pasadena City College. I got the opportunity during my time there to be a staff writer, social media editor, and the Managing editor. As I transition on to a new college, I hope that with my shared work I can bring smiles and questions to other writers and editors pursuing Journalism. I will forever be passionate about uncovering the story beneath every project and communicating with others.
