Experience

I’m a summer newsroom intern from the Chicago suburbs with a passion for storytelling and learning about anything and everything. I’m going into my senior year at the University of Iowa, where I study English and Philosophy. Specifically, I’m focusing my studies on Symbolic Logic and race relations in 19th Century Literature.

I’m also a Writing Fellow at the University of Iowa through the Rhetoric department, where I tutor students on their papers from a variety of subjects. Last summer, I studied Irish History and Writing in Dublin for six weeks, where I picked up the majority of my wardrobe. One time, I wrote a 20-page paper on whale intelligence and AI translation.
