Hello! I just finished the first semester of my senior year as a journalism student at The University of Texas at Austin, pursuing a career in the Broadcast Journalism field, with a minor in communicating social issues. I have numerous bylines, with one being in The Dallas Morning News, and I currently executive-produce a morning news show for the only fully student-run, FCC-licensed college news station in the country, Texas Student Television.This past summer, I worked at MSNBC in New York City at 30 Rock! My role was a digital producer intern, and in this position, I wrote headlines and descriptions for the website and YouTube. I also cut and edit clips for Instagram and TikTok. One of the videos I edited received over 10M views on TikTok, making it the highest-viewed MSNBC Reports TikTok of the summer!During Spring 2025, I worked at KXAN as a news department intern in Austin, TX.
