Storyteller and Journalist

Sharing Stories Around the World

Hi my name is isha!

I am a journalism student at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. My concentration is in broadcasting, and I am double minoring in public policy and environmental science. My expertise lies in health and science storytelling. I am an anchor and reporter for UNC’s Carolina Week where I am on the health and science beat. I love telling stories, and can’t wait to work in a newsroom after graduation.
