I’m a senior double majoring in Legal Studies and Television and Digital Media Production. This fall, I am studying abroad in San Jose, Costa Rica and will be in Los Angeles in the spring through the ICLA program. Over the summer, I interned at NBC News in Washington, D.C. covering some historic moments in our nation’s history: the January 6 hearings on Capitol Hill, the overturning of Roe v. Wade at SCOTUS, and Steve Bannon’s trial at the D.C. District Court. When I’m at home in the San Francisco Bay Area, I report for KQED covering breaking news and other developments in the region and California. I previously served as the news director for ICTV, and my stories for the station have placed at the Syracuse Press Club, NYSBA, and SPJ. For my service project, I’m volunteering as a transcriber for the Prison Journalism Project, a non-profit that trains and empowers incarcerated writers to share their stories of the criminal justice system. I’ve also worked on WRFI’s Which Way Forward: Redefining Public Safety series, and with youth at the MacCormick Secure Center.
