WUSF/USF Zimmerman School Digital News InternI am a WUSF Digital News Intern for the spring 2022 semester, this is my second internship with the station.
I am a student at the University of South Florida, representing the Zimmerman School of Advertising and Mass Communications.
Information is vital to our everyday lives, and I find joy in informing as many people as possible. At WUSF, I have opportunities to do that. I love to tell people about new things, and I can't think of a better way to do that than to write stories.
I look forward to contributing to WUSF during my internship, and I hope to become the best writer and journalist I can be with the help of some of the best in the industry.
