Summary
I have a life long passion for storytelling and aspire to work as an archivist. I have an understanding of digital archiving and an strong knowledge of current events. My internship with The Photojournalism Archive this summer has strengthened my proficiency with software programs, organization and naming of files, and editing video. In 2020, I spent a year living in Lebanon where I documented the revolution and other events and attended the Global Classroom LAU MUN. My work as a student activist in NYC has taught me collaboration and teamwork and strengthened networks with my peers across the city.
