Education
Master of Arts, Journalism

Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY
​​
August 2020 - December 2021
I earned my Master's degree in Journalism with a concentration in health and science reporting and a specialty in broadcast and video production. While in the program, I co-produced two award-winning stories. "We Want You Back" and "Ride All Night" earned recognition from the Associated Collegiate Press’s Spring Clips & Clicks contest. Also, I was the script writer and one of the segment producers for “The Reawakening” episode of 219 West, the school’s news magazine show. The episode became a finalist for Best Video on a College/University Website at the EPPY Awards. My capstone project about TikTok's impact on teen girls' body image was published in Harper’s Bazaar.
During my undergraduate studies, I earned a Bachelor of Arts with a major in Psychology and a minor in Journalism, graduating cum laude. I served as Editor in Chief of The Paper, the City College of New York's social justice-focused newspaper dedicated to amplifying voices from marginalized communities. Over a year and a half, I led the editorial team, assigned stories, and published original content using WordPress. My commitment to impactful, community-centered journalism earned me The Irving Rosenthal Award for Excellence in Journalism.
