In 2016, I graduated from DePaul University with a Master of Arts in new media studies with distinction. The program has provided me with a thorough understanding of new media while allowing me to expand upon my writing abilities and pursue various interests that are prominent in the field.

I left the program equipped with a number of new skills: content strategy, storytelling, coding and design, among others. I also left the program confident in my abilities to communicate both in print and online formats, and to deliver meaningful, usable content across a mix of digital platforms.
