Hello! My name is Evelyn Moreno and I am a journalism and geography student at the University of Texas at Austin.
“When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.” – Paulo Coelho
I apply Coelho’s quote from “The Alchemist” to my life and the degree I am pursuing consistently. Because I love writing, I continuously strive to polish my skills and learn how to best exert them. I believe words are powerful through any medium; written, spoken and sung and I believe that they have the ability to influence people in many ways.

I am grateful for the reporting experiences I have been able to have and am eager to continue reporting to learn more. I aim to combine my passion for writing, photography, the environment and social justice to bring awareness to impactful issues concerning us and future generations, amplify the voices of those whose stories are overlooked and hold those in power accountable.
When I am not reporting, I can be found spending time with family and friends, outdoors, reading, picking flowers, playing with my dog or losing my voice at a concert.
