Hi! My name is Sara (she/her), and I am a senior journalism major at the University of Texas at Arlington with a focus in digital media. I will be graduating in December 2024.
This summer I am in New York City working as a Communications Intern for the National Audubon Society. Back home, I do community-based reporting as a staff writer and executive editor for the Arlington Sentinel, an initiative serving news desert communities in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. I am passionate about Title IX reform and survivor justice, and have experience writing progressive policy recommendations and working as an advocate for survivors of interpersonal violence (check out this 2022 Teen Vogue article that quoted me about the organization I started at UT Austin!). I also work on community voter registration initiatives as a Volunteer Deputy Registrar.
In my free time I enjoy bird watching, building blanket forts with my nephew and dog, and all forms of art-making.
