About Me
I'm a digital and print journalism senior at the University of North Texas. I intend to graduate August 2021 and am currently seeking a summer internship. When I'm not studying or writing feature stories, I'm reviewing independent books pre-launch, producing art, blogging on my creative writing and review site and educating myself on race in the U.S. I am proficient in AP Style, Microsoft Office, and Adobe Suite.
My areas of interest in journalism include copy editing, content editing, arts, pop culture and entertainment, race and social justice. However, I'm open to diversifying my topics and venturing into other areas of coverage if necessary.
Some of my hobbies include watching Black movies, open mic poetry, exploring new areas and listening to jazz, soul, alternative, and lo-fi music.
Below are my writer profiles for North Texas Daily and College Xpress, which can also be found under the articles menu at the top of this page.
