Journalism Portfolio

During my time writing for Shippensburg University’s student-run newspaper, The Slate, I covered a variety of athletic, community, cultural, and campus events. These opportunities to interview, tell stories, photograph events, and connect with community members through journalism helped shape me into the writer and professional I am today.
