Author: priya sharma

Greetings! I'm Priya Sharma, a 25-year-old spontaneous and adventurous soul. Originally from Mumbai, India, I moved to Portland, Oregon, for college and fell in love with the city's unique and quirky spirit. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Journalism from Portland State University and have since embraced the "Keep Portland Weird" motto in both my personal and professional life. My passions include exploring the city's indie theater scene, experimenting with Portland's diverse culinary offerings, and engaging with the dynamic political landscape. When I'm not writing, you can find me at local festivals, quirky boutiques, or paddleboarding on the Willamette River. Portland's vibrant community and endless creativity inspire me to tell stories that celebrate our city's unique character.
