About Me

I am an aspiring journalist from Rhode Island currently studying at The University of Arizona! As an exceptional student academically, I value integrity and personal and intellectual growth. While I may be at the beginning of my career, my ambition and drive are just some of many traits I plan to apply towards my future endeavors when I graduate in May of 2024. What I lack in experience, I can make up quickly with my willingness and ability to grow along with my focus on team success. You will find me collaborative, focused and running the extra mile. This page includes my work as a journalist thus far.
