Meaghan Baggoo is a journalism major at Ithaca College, with minors in sociology and exercise and sport psychology. With these, she hopes to pursue a journalism career in either the sports or news sector. Still, she enjoys all forms of writing, preferring essays or opinion pieces in her free time, with her goal being to one day have her own opinion column for an established news network.
Outside of the classroom, she is on the IC Women’s Soccer team, interested in photography, and has a Caribbean background. As an athlete of color, she is most passionate about highlighting diverse experiences and stories. Not only about athletes or people of color, but also topics like mental health and navigating social relationships.
Originally from Montgomery County, Maryland, Meaghan has worked outside of Her Campus to strengthen her journalistic skills by recently starting photography work with the Ithacan, writing in-class stories, with a piece currently on Ithaca Week, and through some brief freelance sports photography work.
