I am a Spring 2024 Summa Cum Laude and First Honors graduate of the University of Georgia with a Journalism major, a Business minor, and a New Media Certificate. Currently, I am pursuing my master’s degree in journalism at UGA while serving as a Morris Master’s Fellow through the Cox Institute for Journalism Innovation, Management & Leadership.I am passionate about the creative process, from the inception of an idea to the ultimate creation of a story or visual. I have a solid foundation in writing, an eye for design, and a strong work ethic. Each day, I continue to improve my skills through my work in AP style and journalistic writing with The Red & Black (UGA), in addition to my creative and fashion-based writing at Rouge Magazine (UGA).
