Hi there, I'm Maria! I'm currently a junior at the University of Central Florida studying journalism with the intention to graduate in fall 2024. I moved from Russia 3 years ago to pursue the art of storytelling. I am a natural journalist born with a heightened sense of curiosity and passion for spotlighting big issues through individual stories.
