Summary
I am an undergraduate student passionate about storytelling and creative expression through design techniques. Six years in student publication with three years experience in an editorial position has offered me valuable insight in team collaboration in a fast-paced newsroom environment. A love for literature has led me to strong writing and editing skills as well as an eye for timely stories.
