I’m a graduate student at the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism and a recent graduate from NYU who is passionate about storytelling, journalistic truth, and connecting with communities. I’m strongly committed to attentive journalism that uses innovative sourcing and research techniques to bring audiences relevant and timely information. I’ve just completed a multimedia internship at Foreign Policy Magazine, where I created research briefs for our live journalism platform, FP Live, and used social media to bring as many readers as possible to our content, diverse in both perspective and subject. For my undergraduate thesis, I directed, produced, shot, and edited a short documentary about mental health in my parent’s home country of Guyana. I also interned on the CNN Digital Video team, where I pitched, produced, and scripted stories and assisted with setup and newsgathering during live shoots. At National Geographic, I centered diverse musicians to bridge impactful storytelling and authentic sound. It was here, working on projects like "The Real Red Tails" and "Clotilda: The Return Home," that I understood how valuable long-form visual journalism is to shaping the world we live in. The experience kickstarted my desire to work in video journalism and tell stories that help represent marginalized people. Before National Geographic, I also interned at The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and at the NY1 Assignment Desk. I’ve also written for Brown Girl Magazine–where I highlighted community members with unique backgrounds– for several years. I’ve experienced the media industry adapt to changing technologies and industry trends, and have learned how to leverage the strengths of digital media for journalism, from drawing viewers into social media content to keeping audiences engaged through multi-perspective, compassionate, dynamic storytelling.…I’m a graduate student at the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism and a recent graduate from NYU who is passionate about storytelling, journalistic truth, and connecting with communities.
