journalism portfolio As I debated between enrolling in Journalistic Writing and Fashion Design, the reminder of my joy for writing set me on a path that lead me to a better verison of myself. I have never been so passionate about an interest before. I was just a shy little freshman, but I finally found my niche. I can remember being nervous to talk to people, and then one month later I was running down the hallways chasing after people for our sports wrap up. Four years later and I have moved from Staff Reporter to Editor-in-Chief as the newspaper expanded into many new mediums such as live-broadcasting and social media. I plan to major in News-Editorial Journalism with classes in Advertising at the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign. I hope this portfolio gives you an overview of my time spent in the publication’s lab while my adviser was begging to leave, and most importantly, show the person journalism has allowed me to become.
