United States

I am a dedicated student journalist currently enrolled at Queens University of Charlotte. With a strong background in multi-media storytelling, I possess extensive experience in reporting, conducting interviews, video production, and editing. Over the past three years, I have served as the Managing Editor at the Queens University News Service, where I successfully contributed to the publication of over a dozen stories for various local news outlets in Charlotte.

Set to graduate in May 2024, I am actively seeking opportunities to apply my skills and passion for journalism within the Charlotte news industry. I am eager to bring my expertise in reporting and multimedia production to a Charlotte news outlet.
