Wrote reports and summaries of LPD events, including interviews with speakers and students who attend the dialogues. Wrote ‘objective reporting’ pieces on issues related to the dialogues that will require on-line research and occasionally research in the community.

As a part of this selective student working group, we met three times and attended three lectures over the span of two months to develop a greater understanding about EU policies, I focused on the Eurozone and European economy. This program culminated in a three day trip to Brussels in which we visited EU institutions and met with EU practitioners.

In my first semester abroad, I had the opportunity to publish my first impressions of NYU Florence. This was primarily to inform NYU students interested in studying at the Florence campus. I plan to become involved with the domestic Washington Square News Desk following my return to NYU’s Manhattan campus in the fall of 2019.

In my senior year of high school, I interned for my hometown newspaper. Here, I interviewed gubernatorial candidates, pastors, fish-farmers, musicians and other fascinating people. I also reported on local events and pursued my own projects which included exposes on student drug-use and Iowa’s homeless epidemic.

Participating in the school newspaper was pivotal to my high school career. I began as the Campus Life Editor, focusing on extracurriculars. I worked my way up to a Co-Editor-in-Chief position for my final two years. I helped direct 15 other students while also working on my own stories. I also helped supervise the production of the layout for the paper’s monthly print publication. In my time on the Ames High Web, I published several controversial pieces which lead to public discourse.
