As usual, I’ve been neglecting this blog since I started working. But, I wanted to write a little about my internship so far- I had planned to update weekly, and hopefully I can be a little more diligent with this blog from now on (then again, that’s what I always say). For starters, I already […]

I’m so excited, my first real article went live today on The Daily Beast’s Women in the World site!! The subject- sugar babies. Take a look! http://www.thedailybeast.com/witw/articles/2013/06/21/website-by-and-for-sugar-babies.html

I spent 5 hours transcribing this interview for one of my editors, Katie Baker, so if you could all read it that would be great! It’s a really fantastic interview, Katie did a great job and Shohreh is an incredible person. http://www.thedailybeast.com/witw/articles/2013/06/10/shohreh-aghdashloo-on-her-new-memoir-the-alley-of-love-and-yellow-jasmines.html My second week at Newsweek started today, and I still love it. I’m […]

I know it’s another article, but being a Texas native (Dallas, born and raised) I always love when Texas gets positive publicity unrelated to sports. Over the last few years, Texas has become one of the best places to do business and raise a family. Technology, music, entertainment, oil and gas, and just about every […]

Considering I’m starting a social media internship on Monday, I found this article on Buzzfeed fascinating. If you’re not familiar with Buzzfeed, they usually assemble humorous lists, such as “Amanda Bynes Calling People Ugly (Presented By Judgmental Huskies).” But they also feature real articles, such as this one by staff writer Rob Fishman, titled, “The […]

While most of my friends will be laying by the pool or jetting off on vacation, I’m spending my summer in NYC interning at Newsweek and The Daily Beast. This is an incredible opportunity, and I can’t wait to start in a little over a week! I didn’t really apply for this internship in the […]

Here’s a VuVox I made as part of our Journalism Final Project (the other parts of the project will be uploaded soon!). Check it out! On May 4th, 2013, Hofstra hosted their annual Music Fest, with performances by Twenty One Pilots, Joey Bada$$, and Third Eye Blind. Music Fest, held every spring, is a free, […]

Here’s an infographic I made for my journalism class, with the top ten highest paying majors for the Class of 2013. While I’m sad that Journalism did not make the list, it’s still neat to see how much one can make with a certain major.

Friday was my 19th birthday, and Saturday I headed into the city with my suitemate Blaine for a beautiful day in NYC. We hit up the NHL store (where I finally got a Crosby shirt!), Shake Shack (a must in NYC), Pinkberry, and then wandered through Chelsea to reach the Highline Park. The Highline, which […]

Here’s a link to my first YouTube video! This is an MOS (Man on the street) interview I did for my journalism class, asking average students around Hofstra whether or not they are worried about North Korea, what they think might happen in the next week, and what they would do to alleviate the situation.  […]
