A 22 year old (recent) graduate from George Mason University majoring in Global Affairs with a concentration in Global Communication & Technology. I also hold a minor in Electronic Journalism and hope to work as a radio journalist in the future. During the spring of 2011, I worked at National Public Radio’s Washington Desk as an intern where I helped cover national political news from the White House, campaigns and the U.S. Congress including the capture and death of Osama Bin Laden. In the spring of 2012, I was a producer’s assistant for the award-winning discussion show The Kojo Nnamdi Show based on American University’s campus as part of NPR’s member station WAMU. I served as the Entertainment Editor for Connect2Mason, George Mason University's student run media outlet for the students and the community. Currently, I am a media logger at Voice of America monitoring incoming news feeds and transcribing video. I am also a contributor to American Student Radio.
Outside of journalism I was a third year residential adviser for freshmen students and served on the executive board for Invisible Children at George Mason University's campus. In June of 2013, I was a state leader with the nonprofit The Enough Project, working on encouraging congressional leaders to support anti-genocide legislation in the Democratic Republic of Congo and South Sudan.
