About

I am a dedicated, hard-working 24 year old looking for her start within the journalism field. I bring forward a great Bachelor's degree in the field as well as intern experience creating content for an athletic conference and even experience in a college news room, both on and off the camera. I have worked many dead-end jobs to pay the bills and to get through school, but I am searching for that perfect job that makes me happy to get out of bed each morning.
