Work Experience
Columbia Daily Spectator
Executive Producer, September 2022- December 2024
I led a team of 12 student journalists through the process of researching, writing, and producing video news stories. During my time on staff, I covered the protests at Columbia, including the encampment, occupation of Hamilton Hall, and the related arrests. Videos I produced, wrote, and edited have been viewed over one million times across Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok, and my reporting was cited in national media outlets, including the Huffington Post, Al Jazeera, and the New York Times.
NBC News, Top Story with Tom Llamas
Editorial and Production Intern, September 2024-April 2025
At Top Story, I wrote anchor tells, sourced video content from wire services and social media, and edited short news segments. I met tight deadlines while exercising sound judgment and sensitivity in determining what content was appropriate for broadcast.
PEN America
Free Expression Leadership Fellow, June 2024-August 2024
While working with PEN's Digital Safety team, I researched ways for journalists and writers to protect themselves against harassment, threats, and other forms of intimidation. Additionally, I assisted the team in providing harassment training to professional newsrooms and advocated for social media companies to adopt policies that better protect journalists from intimidation.
William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty
Data Analysis Intern, June 2023- August 2023
Using data that I retrieved from the Multiple Listings Service, public tax records, and web scraping, I created databases for real estate agents that bolstered their ability to advertise properties, evaluate local markets, and understand how well they retained clients.
Columbia Political Review
Staff Writer, September 2023-Present
Every semester, I write at least two articles that could be op-eds, feature stories, and interviews. Past pieces have included an analysis of Viktor Orban’s exploitation of globalization and an interview with the former president of Macalester College on universities’ role in commenting on current affairs.
