I am currently pursuing my Master of Science STEM degree in Media Studies and Practices from Lynn University after completing my B.A in Multimedia Journalism and A.A in Public Relations in just three years. I am also a student-athlete competing at the NCAA Division II level, which has led me to understand the discipline, resilience, and teamwork required both on the field and in the newsroom. My experiences have shaped my ability to lead with integrity, communicate with purpose, and remain composed under pressure. I am passionate about meaningful storytelling, and giving a voice to individuals and communities who may otherwise go unheard. I believe journalism is not just about delivering information, it’s about creating impact, sparking conversations and challenging perspectives. My mission is to inform the public with accuracy, authenticity and responsibility while using storytelling as a tool to inspire change, amplify important issues and build stronger, more informed communities. I describe my craft as having a “front-row seat to life.”
