About Me
I'm a Boston University student studying Journalism and Political Science, with a minor in International Relations. I graduate with a Dual Degree in May 2024. While my main focus has been in print journalism, I've ventured recently into broadcast and I absolutely love what I do now. In my portfolio, you'll find a mix of print stories, photo collections and broadcast packages — some collections and packages complement a print story while others stand on their own. My goal is to be an international conflict reporter in a broadcast setting.

City Section Editor
The Daily Free Press

My job as the City Section Editor was to look for stories and make determinations of newsworthiness based on our readership. I then assigned those stories to the 60 writers we had working for the section and delegated responsibilities to my associate editors to maintain a well-functioning section that was able to publish up to 8 stories a week. I was also involved with the editing of some of the biggest stories of the semester such as the Ibram X. Kendi story that garnered national attention as well as an investigative story about a large-scale development in the nearby town of Dorchester.
