"When I write, I am trying to express my way of being in the world." — Zadie SmithI am a graduate of Savannah State University, where I received a B.A. in Mass Communications with a minor in English Language and Literature. Growing up, I loved reading, writing, and learning more about the world around me, which influenced my decision to become a journalist. In college, I joined the National Council of Negro Women, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. My work as the Editor-in-Chief of Tiger's Roar, the student newspaper, impacted my experience as a member of these organizations. In my position, I created the monthly newsletter, rebuilt the news team during COVID-19, increased student awareness of on-campus issues, and learned what it takes to be a true leader.
