Education
Syracuse University
July 2019 - May 2022
In my time at Syracuse University, I improved on the vast knowledge I had at Buffalo State College. I learned about how the news could be innovated through existing technology and thriving technology, such as augmented reality, virtual reality, 360 imagery, etc. I also learned how to compile data into charts and graphs for data-driven articles.
SUNY Buffalo State College
Aug. 2015 - May 2018
In my time at Buffalo State College, I learned the in's and out's of journalism. I have extensive practice in conducting interviews on different platforms of journalism. I have been a part of several campus media organizations and have had extensive practice in conducting interviews, doing research, and writing for different facets of journalism. I graduated a year early, in 2018, because I took several classes at a local community college while I was in high school.
CUNY City Tech College
Jan. 2012 - June 2015
I attended this school as a part of the College Now program. I took six general education classes at this school that would apply to the degree I am earning from SUNY Buffalo State College. In taking these classes, I got an early start learning how to conduct research and the proper way to write in-depth research papers. These classes also got me ready for the grueling academic environment of college.
