Camelia Rodriguez is a graduate of DePaul University in Chicago where she majored in Communication (Journalism) and double-minored in Asian American Studies and English. Since the fifth grade she knew she would one day be a journalist (although her family still holds out hope that she’ll become a doctor or lawyer) because she loves telling stories and meeting interesting people. She also enjoys reading biographies, attempting to cook, eating mango ice cream bars and singing in the rain.
