Why did you join the Reveille?
In high school, I was a part of my school’s newspaper and absolutely loved my time there. Once I heard about the Reveille, I knew that I wanted to continue my “journalistic career” in college. Writing is one of my greatest passions, and being able to express myself on a larger platform was a dream of mine.
What positions have you held at the Reveille?
I have held the position of opinion columnist twice, and now I’m the opinion editor.
What’s your favorite thing about working at the Reveille?
Prior to becoming an editor, my favorite thing was writing. Since high school, I’ve loved being able to express myself through writing in ways that I could never do verbally. Now as an editor, I would say that my favorite thing is working with my columnists and fellow editors. We have a wonderful group of people at the newspaper, and I have loved getting to know all of them better.
What’s your favorite story that you’ve written so far?
Honestly, it’s a tough question because I have a lot of personal favorites. However, I would say that my favorite story (as of right now) is the piece that I wrote about the Feminists in Action’s annual event, Take Back the Night. The piece focused on my own personal story with sexual assault, and advocated for survivors and allies to attend the event to bring awareness to this ongoing issue. It’s so important to bring attention to people’s stories, and that’s what I tried to highlight in this column. It was an excruciating piece to write, but I’m so glad that I did.
What do you hope to do after graduation?
After graduation, I hope to enter the publishing industry. My heart has always lay with books, and I can’t wait to help bring authors’ stories to life someday.
