Introducing Malissa Tem of Los Angeles
Malissa Tem has a natural instinct for storytelling, to the point that she feels her current path as a journalism student and freelance reporter found her rather than her choosing it. She takes a meticulous approach to her work, making such extensive notes that she can feel overwhelmed by the story she’s trying to cover. However, she believes the Khmerican is a fitting venue for her talents, one that “offers a different perspective that is often neglected by other media outlets.” In fact, Tem sees the Khmerican as being able to “build a large network of leaders in the different Cambodian communities buy sharing stories that can inspire the next wave.”
It’s official guys!
Eric of Khmerican wrote this intro for me. Fantastic job!
