They also enjoy drawing digitally while listening to their favorite artist Taylor Swift, as it’s one of their dream careers after they graduate from high school. Their goal for publications is to make their readers feel engaged and connected to each and every story they may or may not read, and they’re excited to watch how FHCToday unfolds!
