Soraya Keiser

Hello! I’m a senior journalism and international relations student at Bethel University in St. Paul, Minnesota.

I like reporting on social justice issues, writing features on unique people and learning new things.

I also enjoy hiking through old-growth forests, eating chocolate custard and matching my earrings to my outfit.
