Major: Journalism

Year: Senior

Being a journalist is inspiring. Each assignment brings me into a person's life that I ordinarily wouldn't see. I'm a better person for it, and I can only hope I tell their stories the way they deserve to be told.

I graduated from Penn State in May of 2009 with a BA in Journalism and am currently a photo intern at the York Dispatch in York, Pa. At Penn State I received a solid education in visual journalism. I learned what makes a great storytelling image, and how to put together a solid multimedia piece. With the skills I've learned I feel prepared to enter a fast-changing job environment. I hope to improve my storytelling skills so that I can best tell the stories that are important to me.
