Summary
Hello, my name is Keya Rivera. I am a recent graduate from UH Manoa with a Bachelor's Degree in Journalism. I have experience as an opinion editor at the Santa Monica College Corsair Newspaper. Additionally, I spent three months working at London Flair Magazine. I have familiarized myself with political reporting as an intern in the office of Senator Keohokalole and interned at Pacific Business News as an Editorial Intern. I am passionately dedicated to becoming a journalist who contributes exceptional reporting to the public. I am proficient in photojournalism, editing both photos and videos, and familiar with social media management. What I lack in experience, I make up for with enthusiasm and eagerness to learn!
