I recently received my master’s degree in magazine, newspaper and online journalism at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University. I received my bachelor’s degree in political science and French at Barnard College in New York City. I hope to report on political and social issues pertaining to minority groups, especially Black and Arab, in France, as well as present-day Francophone countries in Africa. I also have a strong interest in community and ethnic media, neighborhood reporting, housing and education. In addition to having reporting and writing skills, I have experience in the areas of audio, photography, video, HTML/coding, copy-editing, fact-checking and social media. I am currently looking for freelance and full-time positions in magazine, newspaper or online journalism.
