The best things in life are free press!

I am a broadcast journalism major and Political science minor at Howard University from Chicago, Illinois. My main desire as a journalist is to seek the truth and bring creativity and purpose into everything I do. A few of my passions include poetry, music, and art in all its forms. In my future endeavors, I plan to become an entertainment broadcaster as well as a freelance writer for different news outlets and magazines. Using my platform as a space where education, politics, and the arts are displayed and connected through my writing. While my career will focus on the different aspects of journalism, I also plan to open a nonprofit organization. The organization will focus on educating and giving opportunities to special needs and alternative education children.

Why Me?
During my time at Howard University I’ve had a lot of challenges and hardships that have set me back. While my portfolio and resume may not seem as lengthy or impressive as some of the other candidates, I am an exceptional candidate. Not only will I rise to the occasion but I will work endlessly to advance myself at any company and/or organization. I am a quick and efficient learner, determined, hard working, and focussed. I never let one thing determine the trajectory of an outcome and always finish the job. Nevertheless, I love being a part of programs that evoke change in our society and help cultivate a space where everyone is respected. Thank you for taking the time to read more about me, and I hope we can work together soon!
