Karissa Rodriguez

Freelance journalist & photographer

United States

My name is Karissa Rodriguez. I am a 27-year-old freelance journalist and photographer located in the vibrant city of Austin, Texas.

I am a jack-of-all-trades type of gal in the world in journalism. With experience as the former editor-in-chief of Austin Community College's student-run newspaper, the Accent, I have a journalism skill set in writing, photography, multimedia, and designing.

My passion for all things journalism began in high school over 10 years ago. Since working on my high school newspaper and graduating in 2004, I have worked as a photographer, writer, web editor, photo editor, page design intern, and editor-in-chief.
