Crystal Chainani

I'm currently a junior at Pepperdine University where I major in journalism. 

​

Struggling with reading at a young age, my father started having me read various newspapers every day in hopes of me developing better comprehension skills. Little did he know I would start growing a love for print media and aspire to have my own articles published one day. 

​

In high school, I became the editor of my school paper Of Paws and Pens. My passion for writing print persisted which lead me to major in journalism at Pepperdine University. 

​

Since my time at Pepperdine, I have been a part of Newswave, a media platform that covers all news in Malibu and surrounding areas. I have also done reporting for the Malibu City Council meetings. 

​

I look forward to seeing where my future journalism career takes me in pursuit of making media literacy great again!
