PODCASTING
During my junior year at Carlmont, I worked on the Arospace podcast, which is about the asexual and aromantic communities.
Episode Two discusses the discrimination that members of the asexual and aromantic community may face. Additionally, they may face gatekeeping from within the LGBTQ+ community.
Episode Three discusses relationships for asexual and aromantic people, and how they may differ from common perceptions about relationships.
Episode Five is the final episode, and it talks about how sex and romance is valued in modern society and how it appears in mainstream media.
MAGAZINE ARTICLES
In my junior year at Carlmont, I've written for the Highlander magazine. I've written a review on old music, an article about the UC system and SAT scores, and I co-wrote the featured article for the 5th issue.

Eventually, it can become something they can’t imagine life without. Here are six Carlmont students and alumni who have taken their love of music to another level.

The pandemic has hastened the move towards test-optional and test-blind college applications. The University of California (UC) schools were among the first major colleges to deprecate standardized tests.
