A senior-year journalism student at Lehigh University, I have joined LehighValleyNews.com as an intern for the Fall 2024 semester. I am passionate about local journalism and aim to tell informative, impactful, and inclusive stories. My previous work can be found in Hudson Valley magazine; the lifestyle section of Lehigh’s school newspaper, the Brown and White,; and on Parents.com. Outside the newsroom, I spend my time hiking, learning new artistic skills and shopping in second-hand stores.
