College Newspaper

As a journalism minor at SMU, I was able to accumulate sample of written and broadcast work. I was able to learn and practice different styles of writing, such as news writing, arts and culture writing, sports writing, and more.

I became the managing editor and then the Editor-in-Chief of the Daily Campus Student newspaper. While I still enjoy writing stories, I also enjoy helping others write and find their voice.

Check out some of my stories below.
