WUSF Stephen Noble Social/Digital News internWriting has been my favorite form of expression since I was little, so naturally, journalism was an easy path for me to choose.
As a rising third-year student at the University of Florida majoring in journalism, I have had the opportunity to dive into some of the most unique stories while reporting for WUFT and focusing on community-based journalism.
My self-proclaimed beat of the past spring semester became the metal-detecting community in Florida. This goes to show that there can always be a story in places you might not have expected or even known about.
When I am not working on a story, you can find me at Orange Theory, teaching swim lessons or watching a true crime documentary.
I am so excited to see what I can uncover with WUSF this summer. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to learn from all the talented and passionate professionals here.
You can connect with me on LinkedIn.
