Hello! I’m Helen, a junior editor for the "Young Voices" section of BK Reader! Currently, I'm a high school student with a desire to explore all that the world has to offer. I’m also an educational advocate, community leader, journalist and global citizen. In my free time, I love to read, write, listen to music, or simply help out around the house! I’m a native Brooklynite and New Yorker with a love of the greatest city in the world!
