The Emory Wheel

I worked as a senior staff writer and editor for the opinion and features sections at The Emory Wheel, my college's student newspaper. I also dabbled in illustration, web design and podcasting as needed.

Society of Professional Journalists Mark of Excellence Radio News Reporting Region 3 Winner (April 2023)

I worked at a Children's Healthcare of Atlanta and an Emory University Hospital research lab to study premature babies and Cerebral Palsy. To help recruit participants, market our studies and provide information to the general public, I created flyers and social media posts using the photographs I took at the lab. My work was picked up by national nonprofits for wider distribution. I also created an Instagram (@bboplab), Facebook and lab website that successfully brought in participants from all over the country and world.
