SAVE THE CHILDREN JORDAN
|
My mother said "think big and think crazy" about what I wanted to do for my sophomore summer at Elon University. I wasn't interested in going back to lifestyle journalism, so I thought about the type of work I wanted to do as a journalist and I had always wanted to report from the toughest places. I wanted to document the frontline of a crisis, so I set out to find an internship that could take me there. That's how I ended up with Save the Children Jordan.
I served as the communications intern in the Advocacy Media & Communications Department. During my internship I honed my photography, sharpened my writing and got a taste of reporting internationally. Below is my best work from Save the Children, I hope you enjoy my experiment with advocacy journalism. |
