I am a second-year undergraduate student at Dalhousie University, where I am pursuing a Bachelor's Honours in Political Science, with a focus in journalism, student media, and civic reporting. My interest in journalism began in high school, where I founded a school newspaper titled The Sabres Chronicles and served as editor-in-chief for two years. My work on the paper was recognized where I received the Thames Valley Educations Award for my contributions.
At Dalhousie, I have continued to develop my reporting portfolio through on-campus press and external publication. In my first year, I covered a female intramural game for the Dalhousie Gazette, and published an article in the Halifax Examiner titled 'The student struggle in Halifax's housing market,' reporting on affordability barriers and structural forces shaping student access to housing in the city.
This year, I contributed to a live coverage of Halifax's Nocturne art festival where I interviewed participants around the city. I am hoping to continue developing as a journalist while contributing evidence-based campus and community story telling throughout my degree.
