Class of 2015 Spotlight

 

What have you been up to since graduation?
I’ve been deep in the news world, working first as a local reporter in Baltimore immediately after graduation and now as a national correspondent at CNN, where I’ve been since 2017.

How do you stay connected to Northwestern?
I’ve stayed connected through the seemingly endless journalism alumni who I run into out in the world and through supporting our athletics as best I can, through the good, bad, and at times the very ugly.

What are you looking forward to most in 2020?
What I’m looking forward to most in 2020 is the chance to grow. I’m excited, nervous, and ready all at the same time to see what new challenges and experiences are waiting for me. The only thing I can truly hope for is the chance to look all the way back on 2020 in disbelief at how far I’ve come. But also, the new James Bond movie looks pretty awesome.
