I am a student at Boston University pursuing a dual degree in journalism and psychology, with the hope of working as a broadcast journalist in the future. I'm
interested in combining these fields to contribute to a more inclusive and empathetic media landscape. By applying psychological insights to my journalism
endeavors, I aim to uplift the stories of underrepresented communities, creating a greater understanding of their diverse experiences.
