Maria Fernanda started her journey when she decided to leave her friends, family, and life back in her native country Peru. She moved from Lima, Peru to the USA. Specifically to California in the Bay Area. Maria Fernanda wants to become a journalist, so she decided to start in college and then transfer to a four-year university. Currently she is in her second year of college, and hopefully next fall she will transfer to get her bachelor’s degree in journalism. Maria Fernanda is still trying to decide what kind of journalism she will pursue, but currently she is passionate about opinion writing. She also likes telling stories and interviewing people. Maria Fernanda would like to travel around the world and get to those remote places where so much help is needed and injustices are committed.
