Beyond the realm of journalism, Goodman loves traveling the world to experience different cultures and discover new aspects. Whether Goodman is at the beach with friends, practicing yoga, sewing an outfit or on an airplane to her next destination, she finds joy in life’s simple pleasures. With a passion for storytelling and a zeal for creating engaging content, Goodman is excited to dive into the dynamic world of social media. With a strong goal to build a vibrant online community that connects people, Goodman is eagerly looking forward to this next school year’s exciting changes ahead as the Falconer embarks on a new chapter.
