I'm a 2026 graduate of Northeastern University in Boston, MA, with a Bachelor of Arts in journalism and minors in political science and public relations. I currently work as a freelance video producer for Boston.com, where I worked full-time for four months as an audience engagement co-op. Previously, I did a six-month press and digital media fellowship in the U.S. House of Representatives for the Office of David Trone (MD-06).

I served as a managing editor of The Huntington News, Northeastern's independent student newspaper, for one year. I oversaw a staff of 110 students; facilitated print, editorial goals and business operations; and led a centennial campaign celebrating the paper's 100th year. Prior, I was audiovisual editor and social media editor for two years, where I introduced vertical video and revamped the paper's socials and newsletter, growing engagement across the board.

First place in in-depth reporting — 2024 New England Newspaper and Press Association Better Newspaper Competition College Division

Work: "Campus Turned Processing Area"

Judges' comments: "This massive reporting effort by three Northeastern students provides needed accountability on the university's decision to arrest 98 at an anti-war encampment. The entire team at The Huntington News showed that reporting depth can be achieved in both short (69 published web updates over two days) and long form. The report by
Annika Sunkara, Eli Curwin and Emily Spatz deserves to
stand as the definitive account of this difficult passage in
the school's history, thanks to their deep interviewing, eye
for detail, and plain old shoe leather reporting."

Work:

1. Graphic post: Timeline of Northeastern's response to the Trump admin

2. Video: Asking Boston College students to say one nice thing about Northeastern

Judges' comments: "The Huntington News demonstrates outstanding social media engagement through a versatile, platform-native approach that combines explanatory graphics, analysis-driven video, and man-on-the-street reporting. Submissions such as the timeline graphic on Northeastern’s response to the Trump administration, policy analysis videos, and student interviews around the Beanpot rivalry show strong journalistic judgment, effective use of multimedia, and clear impact in sparking campus conversation and audience interaction."
