About
MY BACKGROUND
I am a business journalist based in New York City, reporting on student success initiatives in higher education. I graduated from Pepperdine University in 2022 with my bachelor's degree in Journalism and an emphasis in multimedia design as well as a concentration in Spanish. I'm currently a graduate student at the City University of New York's Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism studying business and data reporting, with the hope of earning a Master's in Journalism. My passion is in storytelling and connecting people to the truth in engaging and innovative ways.
