I’m a senior at Northwestern State University of Louisiana, majoring in communication with a concentration in journalism, broadcast and digital media production. I also hold minors in social science, gender and sexuality studies and political science, along with a certification in strategic communication. I currently serve as Editor-in-Chief of The Current Sauce, NSU’s independent student-run newspaper, and president of the university’s Society of Professional Journalists chapter.

I began my journalism career in 2023 as an intern reporter for L’Observateur, covering local news throughout the River Parishes. Since then, I’ve held editorial leadership positions including Sports Editor and Copy Editor at The Current Sauce and Editor-in-Chief of PLUGGED IN Magazine.

In the summer of 2025, I served as a Communications Intern with STEM NOLA | STEM Global Action, where I wrote and edited stories, created social media content, gathered multimedia assets for newsletters and supported community outreach initiatives. 

This summer, I served as a Human Resources Intern with the St. John the Baptist Parish Public School District, I processed public records requests, conducted employee background checks and assisted with confidential personnel records. I also worked as a Writing Intern at Where Y'at Magazine, where I research, write and edit feature stories covering New Orleans restaurants, culture, entertainment and community events while utilizing SEO strategies to optimize digital content.

In August 2026, I will join the Inclusive Excellence in Journalism Fellowship at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University as one of six inaugural fellows selected nationwide. Through the fellowship, I will receive advanced training in investigative reporting, data journalism, multimedia storytelling, accountability reporting, ethical AI and newsroom leadership while working alongside professional journalists and faculty mentors.

I’m an aspiring investigative journalist focused on storytelling at the intersection of journalism, media and advocacy, and I plan to pursue graduate studies after graduating in May 2027. In my free time, I enjoy building LEGO sets, reading historical fiction, traveling and cuddling with my cat, Asher James Wellington III!
