My Goals
In the future, I plan to utilize my journalism degree to tell people’s stories. As a freshman in high school, I was exposed to the motto of “every person has a story.” Between my junior and senior year, I had the opportunity to travel to the Dominican Republic and shadow medical professionals in a local hospital. While on this trip, I encountered many people from different backgrounds and cultures who all had their own life story, part of which I observed while I watched them get treated.
I got an even better understanding of the unique stories that each person had when I entered college at UNC Chapel Hill and I was surrounded by an incredibly diverse group of talented individuals. While I don’t know every person that I pass on my walk to class, I know that the one thing we share in common is being a Tar Heel. Every person on campus and beyond has a unique story to their life that is worth sharing with the world. I want to use my degree in journalism to share the stories of the people I come across in different locations and cultures to make an impact on their lives and the people around them. As a journalist I will have the power to inspire, to educate and to forge connections.
