The Health Science Journalist

I am a senior at Howard University, pursuing a journalism degree with a minor in biology. My academic and professional journey is deeply rooted in a commitment to bridging healthcare and communication, with a specific focus on advocating for people of color who frequently interact with the medical field. I aim, to provide diverse communities with essential information to help them make informed health decisions, ultimately fostering positive change and impact.

 

In my previous role on the health editorial team, I curated and wrote educational advice columns, particularly on maternal and fetal health. This position has honed my skills in investigative reporting, fact-checking, and crafting accurate, engaging content. Additionally, I am proficient in using tools such as SEMrush and Airtable, which assist me in organizing stories and optimizing them for SEO to reach a broader audience.

 

I am passionate about maintaining a strong work ethic and producing high-quality, precise reporting. I value constructive criticism as a growth opportunity and am eager to contribute to your team’s efforts to bridge communities, foster trust, and raise awareness of critical health issues.
