It’s called The J Junkie because I live and breathe journalism to the point of annoying everyone around me.

I am a senior at the Missouri School of Journalism. I aspire to start an international career (especially in Africa and the Middle East) in all sorts of media, as a backpack journalist/writer/radio correspondent/documentary filmmaker/anything else I can get my hands on. Why stop at one?

I am the managing editor/English of Adelante, a bilingual monthly publication of the Columbia Missourian. If you see I’m not blogging for a while, it’s probably press time.

My hometown is Epinal, France, and I’m on my fourth year (third consecutively) in the U.S. I have a passion for traveling, storytelling, learning new languages and just being a world citizen.
