As a proud CUNY student with an undergraduate degree from Baruch College, and now currently enrolled at the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism, I have a particular interest in New York City’s public higher-education systems. With nearly 300,000 students, CUNY serves students from a variety of economic, social and political backgrounds. I hope to continue serving the community through storytelling and newsgathering. Below is a collection of some of my CUNY-related coverage.
