WELCOME

Journalism allows me to do what I love most; meeting new people, building long-lasting relationships and sharing the stories that make up our community. 

​

I’m a senior at the University of Texas at Austin studying Journalism. Outside of classes, I’m a host and producer for The Drag, where I work on podcasts that involve music, mental health and true crime. Aside from that, you’ll find me up and down the floors of the Belo Center for New Media building at UT Austin, while I serve as media chair for the Communication Council, the official student voice and governing body of the Moody College of Communication.
