I’m a senior at American University majoring in Journalism, with an emphasis in Broadcast. I’ve already had experience in both local and national newsrooms, with five internships at national and local outlets over my four years in undergrad.

I’m now the news director, and often step in as an anchor, reporter and producer at ATV, the school’s student-run television station. As news director, I assign and guide reporters as they build their stories. I also work closely with the School of Communication to coordinate and schedule our broadcasts.

Most recently I worked as a news intern at WCIV in Charleston, South Carolina. There I collaborated with reporters and producers to contribute to our day-to-day coverage. I also had the opportunity to practice standups in the field, while getting advice from reporters.

I’ve worked in national newsrooms, too. In the fall of my sophomore year, I was a production intern at CNN, with “The Lead with Jake Tapper” team. One year later, I returned to CNN, this time as a production intern with “The Chris Wallace” show. 

Last summer I was a news intern at WESH 2 News in Orlando, Florida, where I was on the frontlines of national headlines, including coverage of the Pulse shooting anniversary and Governor Ron DeSantis.

In 2022, I worked as a news intern at WECT in Wilmington, North Carolina, where I reported and produced stories that appeared on the air, including a report on a bird conservation effort on Wrightsville Beach.

During my time at American University, I also had the opportunity to be a Teaching Assistant for an experiential learning course in the School of Communication. I traveled with and guided students as they covered the presidential primary in New Hampshire in 2024.

 I’ve also won several awards and scholarships from the School of Communication and communications organizations in the metro area, including from The American News Women’s Club and the Capital Speakers Club.

I’m a native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In my free time, I love to travel — and I’m always in search of the perfect coffee shop.
