Aspiring journalist with a focus on communication and media.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated communication major with an emphasis in journalism, currently pursuing my degree at Brigham Young University-Idaho. My experience as a Media Assistant at BYU-Idaho Recreation Facilities allowed me to hone my skills in content creation, where I produced engaging videos and Instagram Reels to keep our campus community informed about facility updates and events. This role taught me the importance of clear messaging and effective communication in connecting with diverse audiences.
As an intern reporter for Esquire Hong Kong, I had the opportunity to work on a non-fiction book project and create trend-driven fashion content for both digital and print. Collaborating with various teams, I developed exclusive features and interviews that reinforced Esquire’s voice in men’s fashion. My role as a College Sports Editor for the BYU-I Scroll further enhanced my reporting skills, where I covered sports events and explored the intersection of style and sports through engaging articles.
