Esdras Melgar, News Reporter

During my free time I vlog on Youtube, skate and enjoy reading. My aspiration is to become a News Anchor on National news and give a voice to those who have been outcast from having one. I feel the most inspired when I get to know people who have gone through rough experiences and have still managed to prosper through hope. When I feel stressed, I like to ride my bike to the Marina with my headphones on blast and love to shop at Lush on 3rd St. Promenade.
