Buena Speaks

Sedona Brickley, Section Editor

Sedona Brickley is a second year journalism student and section editor for the Viewpoint section. She hopes to be a lawyer in the future because being a voice for those who are not capable of speaking up for themselves is a deep-rooted passion. During her free time, she enjoys reading novels, knitting blankets, drawing, and more. Traveling is also something she enjoys, and she hopes to travel to Europe one day. Her main goal while writing for Buena Speaks is to speak up about topics she’s passionate about that others may be too hesitant to write about themselves.
