This is my fifth year as the adviser of The Central Voice and my seventh year teaching at CCC. Journalism was among my many majors at the University of Florida along with agriculture, English, and public relations. I was lucky enough to contribute to the Independent Florida Alligator newspaper in Gainesville as a sports beat writer, an experience that definitely had its perks. As a Florida certified journalism teacher, CSPA and JEA member, and an all-around journalism fan, I’m lucky to be a part of CCC’s journalism program. I am incredibly proud of every journalism student who has worked so hard to make our newspaper an outstanding publication. Their dedication and passion is inspiring.
