My passion for journalism started from a very young age. Rather than wanting to be a superhero, I wanted to tell people's stories, to write and hold those in power accountable.
I'm a competent video and audio editor, as well as a passionate writer. I love work where it has multiple media elements to it, and I am always willing to go the extra mile. If I don't know how to do something, I'll try my absolute best to learn and be proficient at it.
I believe that my eagerness to learn, passion for writing, empathy, ability to connect with others, and love for telling stories would be a great asset to your newsroom.
