About Me
Hi! My name is Makayla Sims, but most people just call me Mack. I am a Journalism major at San Diego State University, graduating in December 2026. I fell in love with journalism in my youth, through characters like April O’Neil from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Lois Lane from Superman. Both seek the truth and to hold those who have the most power in our society accountable, which I find to be a very emulative practice. In my journalistic career, I hope to do the same. I aim to utilize my journalism to create change and empower my community.
A quote that I live by is “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has,” by Margaret Mead. This quote reminds me that the only way to make change is to take action, and take it together. Especially with what is going on in the world right now, I find this quote living very close to my heart.
