Reporting

NPR

As a Business News Intern at NPR, I pitched and researched stories for the website, supported long-form reporting through pre-interviews and audio editing, and formatted pieces using NPR’s in-house CMS. I also coordinated visual assets with sources and the graphics team and managed biweekly story analytics using ChartBeat. Below you’ll find three of my favorite stories, but to browse all of my published writing at NPR, click here.

The Red & Black

Over two and a half years at The Red & Black, I progressed from Contributor to Staff Writer, Senior Staff, and eventually Recruitment Editor. Each role shaped me into a thorough, community-driven reporter capable of pitching, writing, photographing, and publishing stories across formats. I was honored with the “Stethoscope” Staff Award for my deep connection to and knowledge of the local community.
