Biography

A recent graduate of the University of Kentucky in Lexington, Ky., I'm living and studying in Egham, Surrey, at Royal Holloway, University of London. I'm a Fulbright recipient to earn my master's degree in Media, Power and Public Affairs; this degree focuses on the interconnected relationship among players on all levels of the news cycle — from those making the news to those impacted by it. After graduate school, I hope to enter the journalism industry as an international political reporter. While in undergrad, I worked as two-time editor-in-chief of my university's award-winning independent student newspaper, the Kentucky Kernel, and I have freelanced for several outlets in the Lexington area. In my free time, I enjoy exploring the English countryside, vintage shopping, drinking tea and reading.
