Stories shape the world, and journalism gives them a voice. As an award-winning journalist with extensive experience in investigative reporting, live broadcasting, and content strategy, I am eager to bring my proven storytelling expertise and editorial leadership to your esteemed organization.

Over the course of my career, I have consistently delivered impactful journalism that informs, inspires, and engages diverse audiences. Whether reporting breaking news live, crafting in-depth investigative pieces, or producing high-quality multimedia content, I approach every story with the same dedication: uncovering the truth and presenting it in a way that resonates.

• Content Innovation: As a social media manager for Hofstra University’s DeMatteis School, I created audience-focused content that boosted engagement by 25%.

With a Master’s degree in Journalism from Hofstra University, certifications in investigative reporting, and a portfolio showcasing culturally rich and socially impactful stories, I bring a blend of technical skills and creative vision to every project. From leveraging SEO strategies to optimize digital reach to moderating public discussions and panels, I am committed to creating journalism that bridges the gap between information and action.

I am drawn to opportunities that challenge me to think critically, collaborate effectively, and push the boundaries of storytelling. Whether it’s producing investigative features, managing a dynamic editorial team, or launching a new multimedia initiative, I am ready to contribute with enthusiasm, expertise, and an unwavering commitment to journalistic integrity.
