REPORTING & WRITING
Coming from a childhood brimming with binders of hand-written stories and shelves full of books, I have found writing to always be an integral part of my life. In journalism, I wish to convey the same amount of immersion and wonder I feel when reading. Every time I sit down with a new article topic, I approach it with open-mindedness and artistry. I want my articles, when read, to encapsulate the core emotion or message of the story. After all, writing without passion makes your words dead. I am constantly on the search for new ways to incorporate individuality and flare to every story I cover. Journalistic writing allows me to reach out beyond my small city and state and connect with people from all over the country and world.

I am most proud of the articles attached below. All of my works can be found here.
Best of SNO is a website created by the School Newspapers Online (SNO) Distinguished Sites recognition process. Only the top works of SNO network student journalists are selected to be honored on Best of SNO. Only 10 percent of the thousands of received submissions are recognized. The following 9 articles of mine were published on Best of SNO for the 2021-2022, 2020-2021, 2019-2020 school years.
Features
Feature articles are incredibly important to me because they allow me to navigate new depths of journalism and amplify the voices and experiences of others.
Arts & Entertainment
Arts & Entertainment has always been my forte. I have a strong admiration for film and books, so diving into the many layers of cinematography or plot allows me such freedom as a writer. I enjoy incorporating anecdotal ledes into articles like these.
Opinion
I have begun to hone in on editorial writing alongside my other articles, which has already greatly expanded my journalistic skillset. Opinion articles are structured much differently than Arts & Entertainment, so writing this piece was a highly beneficial growing curve for me and has inspired me to write more types of these articles in the future.
