I am currently a Fink Fellow within the Grady College’s Cox Institute for Journalism, Innovation, Management and Leadership for the 2024-2025 academic year. I cover monthly council meetings for the Town of North High Shoals. This opportunity has allowed me to gain experience writing for a local publication and finding newsworthy elements to create a news story that informs the residents of the North High Shoals community. My goal with this news coverage is to have more hands-on practice with real-time reporting and learn how to work with tight deadlines to create interesting news coverage.
