carlmont high school journalism.

Scot Scoop | online:
During my sophomore year in high school, I wrote for my journalism program's online platform, Scot Scoop. During this time, I was expected to write articles about events within 72-or-so hours of the event happening for timeliness. See all my articles and photos here.

​Though I actually haven't written beats since then, I am the program's social media director. See here for our Pacemaker portfolio for socials.

The Highlander | newspaper:
During my junior year, I began writing for my school's newspaper, The Highlander. I've written articles around 600 to 800 words in length in multiple categories, including features, news, and opinion pieces. I also occasionally create art to accompany spreads.
