Jezabel Perez, Podcaster
As she enters her third year in Newspaper, podcaster Jezabel Perez, 12, plans on graduating and attending San Diego State University to become more independent but not too far from home. Perez plans to study to become a Social Worker to pursue a career in which she demonstrates her kindness and desire to help others. While in The Downey Legend, Perez hopes to sharpen her listening skills that will also benefit her down her career path.
Perez finds joy in being a podcaster as she loves to talk and hear other people’s stories and tell it in a unique way other than writing. “If I’m not doing something meaningful and making a difference then what is the point? I want to leave this world knowing that I made a difference” Perez explained.
