Written Work

Newswriting

In this sec­tion of my writ­ten work, I present a col­lec­tion of sto­ries I have cre­at­ed dur­ing my time at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Con­necti­cut. Each nar­ra­tive not only reflects my under­stand­ing of AP style guide­lines but also demon­strates my com­mit­ment to engag­ing and impact­ful sto­ry­telling. I aim to bring each sto­ry to life, high­light­ing the lessons and themes I have encoun­tered through­out my UConn expe­ri­ence. The first two sto­ries are pub­lished works, while the last three were sub­mit­ted for UConn Newswrit­ing cours­es. In all of these sto­ries, I sought out and inter­viewed rep­utable sources, allow­ing me to craft com­pelling nar­ra­tives and pro­duce well-report­ed sto­ries.

Speech Writing

This sec­tion of my writ­ten work fea­tures the speech­es I deliv­ered and wrote dur­ing the protests of 2020, which arose in response to the resur­gence of the Black Lives Mat­ter move­ment. Each speech reflects the urgency and pas­sion of that time, as thou­sands gath­ered to advo­cate for jus­tice and equal­i­ty. Through pow­er­ful words, I sought to inspire hope for a future where every­one, regard­less of race, could expe­ri­ence fair­ness and uni­ty. These speech­es show my vision for a soci­ety that embraces diver­si­ty and strength­ens com­mu­ni­ty bonds, paving the way for a bet­ter tomor­row for all.
