My journalistic interests are broader than just current events, my concern is for culture. I enjoy navigating the nooks and crannies of the internet, analyzing social trends, and being up-to-date in the digital era. But what I love the most is taking a closer look at the happenings of the world in terms of art. Some questions that I ruminate on a non-stop basis: why do we love the music we listen to? Why do we enjoy certain artists and not others? Why do we connect with the art we find fascinating?
