Media ePortfolio

Hi, I’m Yesenia and I’m a sophomore majoring in journalism and Germanic studies! I’m originally from Germany, but I’ve lived in the U.S. for the past eight years. I started getting involved in my high school’s newspaper when I was a sophomore, which is why I decided to major in journalism and also join the Media, Self, and Society program. From the Scholars experience, I hope to meet people with the same interests as me and learn more about different types of media and their impact on people and things going on in the world right now. A lot of people in Media Scholars aren’t journalism majors, so it gives me the chance to meet people I might not usually see in my classes. The guest speakers we have had in class so far were very interesting because they all had different types of jobs in journalism. I learned a lot about different areas of the business that I wasn’t familiar with. Out of my college experience, I hope to gain a lot of experience in journalism. I recently joined HerCampus, so I am starting to have articles published there. Over the next four years I hope to join or write for other campus organizations as well and participate in several internships. I’m excited to start experiencing working in newsrooms and creating a lot of content.
