La Stampa, Multimedia Journalist/San Paolo Fellow
In 2014 I was selected for the prestigious San Paolo Fellowship, which allowed me to travel to Italy and work for La Stampa, the country’s third largest newspaper. In addition to working on multimedia pieces for the paper’s MediaLab, I worked at the web desk covering U.S. issues from an international perspective.
