WUSF-USF Zimmerman Rush Family Digital News internAt 16 years old, I was walking into businesses and getting interviews. My dad was still driving me places, my phone cover was pink and sparkly and I had entirely no idea what I was doing, but it was something that came naturally to me.
I fell in love with talking to people and hearing their stories. Turning those conversations into words was an easy way to turn my love of storytelling into a career.
I am double majoring in mass communications and professional and technical communications at the University of South Florida.
I am also the news editor for The Oracle, the university’s student newspaper on the Tampa campus.
As a WUSF intern, I hope to dip my toes into the world of radio and meet new people in the areas I’ll cover.
