Kimberley Espinosa Interviews Ava McCollum

Description

Ava is a junior at Marlborough School in Los Angeles. Passionate about literature and issues surrounding immigration, she found KYCC’s opportunities to be all encompassing. She is the creator of BOS Coalition, an organization to highlight the stories of people impacted either directly or indirectly by Asian immigration. The interview skills she acquired through BOS Coalition will allow her to continue to expand her writing and journalistic abilities in KYCC’s program. She realized the true importance of listening to the stories of others and is excited to interview elders in the community to fully appreciate their instrumental contributions to our society and culture as a whole. As she attends a school in fairly close proximity to Koreatown, she wanted to explore its rich cultural history. As such, she looks forward to strengthening her interests through acts of storytelling and journalism. She plans on continuing her passion for English in college.
