Hi, I’m Grace A. DeRolph, a journalist with over a decade of hands-on experience in written, photo, and video storytelling. I’ve contributed to school newspapers, newscasts, and a literary magazine from 2013 through 2025, and I’ve built a diverse portfolio that shows steady growth across media.
I, before graduation, was a Reporter/Editor/Media Producer at Lantern Media Group, working on Arts and Life beats and collaborating across platforms using tools like Adobe Premiere Pro, Photoshop, and Canva. I’m dedicated to interviewing, quick turnarounds, and producing engaging, high-quality content that resonates with audiences.
