What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to grow as a journalist, focusing on impactful storytelling and multimedia reporting.

I am a dedicated journalism student with a passion for storytelling through various media. Currently, I am honing my skills as a News Reporter at Tri-State Defender, where I engage in videography and video editing, ensuring that compelling stories reach our audience effectively.

My experience at The Daily Mississippian and NewsWatch Ole Miss has equipped me with a strong foundation in AP style writing and news coverage. I thrive in dynamic environments where I can conduct interviews and capture the essence of events through photography and videography.
