I’m currently taking two journalism classes to complete my minor: Foundations of Interactive Media and Audiojournalism. So far, I have created wireframes for a website using Figma, and then created a website using those skills and incorporated HTML and CSS in the final product. I have also completed four audio projects on various topics, with a final podcast in the works about nicotine use on college campuses.

Project 1
For this project, I researched the most remote places on Earth. I then used Figma to create wireframes and full-color comps for a potential website. To create the content for the project, I used Bing Copilot (AI) and Bing Image Generator.
Project 2
For this project, our assignment was to create a multi-page website on a topic of our choice. I researched the History of the LGBTQ Movement in the United States and then used Bing Copilot to generate written content for each page. I used Bing Image Generator to create the logo for the page, and then used HTML and CSS to flesh out my designs and make it usable.

Project 2
For this assignment, I had to prepare a 75-second, non-sports story about a recent news event. I decided to cover a “Free Palestine” rally that was held on UNC’s campus by the Students for Justice in Palestine organization in light of the Israel-Palestine conflict. I attended the event, interviewed three people and then wrote a script in the style of news broadcast. Then, I compiled all of the audio in Adobe Audition and edited it, using the denoiser and equalizer features until it sounded clean and consistent.
