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.

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.
