Aspiring Journalist
About Me
I am a multimedia journalism student at Conestoga College in Kitchener. I write, film, and edit for the Conestoga's news portal "Spoke." I am adept in Adobe Premiere Pro, Audition, Lightroom, InDesign and Photoshop.
​
With the correct use of my journalistic skills, I have not only contributed to pitching and reporting the stories for the portal but also went further in digging the pitched ideas to bring out the more interesting key of it, which in turn makes a human-interest story.
​
During my education, I interned with the KW-Titans, the local basketball team, as a social media assistant. Additionally, I played a vital role in the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's annual fundraiser for the local food banks in 2018 and 2019.
I am planning to continue my education in the same profession at Wilfrid Laurier University to gain more knowledge and to further my credentials from diploma to bachelors before I get my foot in the door of the newsroom.
​
I believe that each day is challenging in this profession, which excites me more to keep working and learning.
