Where I Want To Go

I plan on graduating from American University in the spring of 2022 with a masters degree in Investigative Journalism and Public Affairs with a concentration in social justice reporting. 

Looking forward, I'm seeking opportunities that will expose me to a variety of stories and sources that will broaden the depth of my work and push me to be a stronger reporter. I'm interested in a fast-paced, dynamic work environment that encourages me to stay on my toes, ask difficult questions, and step outside of my comfort zone. 

I've found my work in both print and radio to be the most rewarding, and intend on these mediums being cornerstones of my career. In the future, I hope to delve into international reporting and work as a journalist overseas.
