About Me

I'm entering my third year as a Journalism student at Boston University. I am majoring in Print Journalism and minoring in Women Studies. After college I hope to work in a non-profit organization in order to help the women and children of the world or with a major news organization as an international correspondent.

I am working as an intern at BU Today, where I am gaining experience in my intended field. I previously worked as an intern at the Long Island Press in New York. I hope to intern at a news or non-profit organization this summer (2010).
