During my time as an undergrad, I served as one of the staff writers for The Collegian, the weekly student-run newspaper for Saint Mary’s College of California. Additionally, during the Fall 2012, I enrolled in American Journalism (COM 122), an upper-division course that allowed me to not only write news stories, but also work on radio vignettes and video features.
Below are links to some of my work.
