What I Do

As the North Texas Regional Organizer, I aim to expand the outreach New Voices Texas has and collaborate with both lawmakers as well as student journalists in order to create awareness surrounding freedom of speech for student journalists. Passing New Voices is important in order to maintain the integrity of Texas student-journalist programs and encourage free speech.
