Aliyah is a third-year transfer student from the Bay Area, currently finishing her studies in literary journalism. What initially drew her to a media career was the iconic rom-com characters of the early 2000s. Not only did those movies showcase a lifestyle or personal style she admired, but they also shared a passion for writing. This sparked Aliyah's interest in becoming a journalist, where she can be her own leading lady in the big city.
Once she graduates, she hopes to travel across the world to elevate diverse voices and establish herself across various publications. Some of her favorites include Vogue, the Paris Review, and the New Yorker. When she isn’t reporting, Aliyah loves watching light-hearted rom-coms, reading a new book, or finding the greenest matcha at a cafe!
