Editorial Intern — Fall 2018

I’m from Livingston, New Jersey. I’m a junior studying multiplatform journalism at the University of Maryland, College Park. I love writing, hanging out with my friends, playing lacrosse, shopping and watching sports. I am a copy editor for The Diamondback, the independent student newspaper at UMD. In the future, I hope to pursue a career in journalism, whether it be copy editing or writing.
