WUSF Stephen Noble Digital/Social News internAt a young age, hearing and telling stories became a key part of my life. I remember being extremely curious about the world of news and politics while watching the news with my dad while I was in middle school. I always wanted to know why or how something was happening in the world. This love of knowledge evolved into a desired career in journalism.
At the University of Georgia, I am majoring in journalism with a minor in international affairs and certificates in sports media and news literacy.
As a student journalist at UGA, I have learned what it means to share community stories that may not be told otherwise through writing, video projects and social media. I am so proud to be a student journalist.
As a WUSF intern, I hope to develop my digital and social skills. I am looking forward to diving deep into the stories in my hometown of Tampa.
