About

I am a rising senior at Binghamton University, majoring in English with a concentration in rhetoric. I am also pursuing a double minor in health and wellness studies and Africana studies. I am currently an assistant editor for the Arts and Culture section of Binghamton University’s student-run newspaper, Pipe Dream. I have interned at Harpur Perspective, an on-campus magazine, and have been promoted to student editor for this upcoming academic year. I am also a member of the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ). Journalistically, my interests range from the arts, to beauty and health, but my favorite articles to write are feature stories. I strive to educate and inspire my readers by sharing stories that highlight the phenomenal feats of others.
