NSPA Multimedia Journalist of the Year 2024-25 Submission
About Me
I'm a graduating senior at The American School in London (ASL), where I served as the Editor-in-Chief: Online of The Standard, ASL's hybrid student publication. In my role, I oversaw The Standard's website, broadcast and social media, and over the last four years, I progressed from reporting as a Staff Writer to leading a staff of 89 as one of two Editors-in-Chief. I've been interning at Newsreel, an interactive news app startup, for over a year and a half and am currently a fact-checker for MediaWise's Teen Fact-Checking Network. Previously, I interned at Agência Lupa, the largest fact-checking organization in Brazil. In the fall, I'll be double majoring in Journalism and Political Science at Northwestern University, where I hope to further my journalism career.
