Since my sophomore year at the University of California, Davis, I spent three years immersing myself in hard news reporting, covering critical issues and events on campus. I investigated stories such as sexual harassment claims within a sorority, allegations of favoritism by a professor, and a follow-up on the UC Davis pepper spray incident.

 

This experience taught me to conduct thorough research, pitch compelling stories, build relationships with the community, and track packages. As a college student, I honed my fact-checking skills, prepared thoughtful interview questions, conducted interviews, operated the control board, edited projects using Adobe Audition, and delivered weekly five-minute news briefs.
