As both an undergraduate and graduate journalism student at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism, I have focused on refugee and migration topics. I am trained and have a degree in Broadcast Journalism and have worked for 3 news stations, two in Arizona, one in Nebraska. I enjoy telling long-form, emotional stories that help my viewers connect with the subject. I have completed 3 documentaries in the past 3 years and film, edit, produce all on my own. My first documentary, Speak, followed two Somali refugee students through the public school experience in Arizona. My second and third documentaries were conducted in Arizona and Croatia, where I was an assistant producer for a State Department Embassy project. The story topics explored Syrian Refugees using the Balkan countries as a route to Europe. As I approach my graduate graduation in May of 2018, I am excited and interested to find news and media organizations that find a passion in the same stories I do.
