Job description

I'm a metro reporter covering cities in Eastern Los Angeles County, including Pomona, Claremont, and La Verne.

Why did you choose this program?

I wanted to learn how to tell stories, especially ones in underrepresented communities.

How did this program prepare you for your job?

It provided me with an opportunity to lead a newspaper, a venture not everyone gets at 21. I found myself as a writer and as a person.

What did you enjoy most about the program?

The small department and the opportunity to create a community newspaper.

What would you say to prospective students who are thinking about applying to this program?

It will provide an opportunity to get hands-on learning, make global connections, and grow as a journalist and individual.
