About Brianna
Brianna is a graduate student at American University in Washington, DC, pursuing an M.A. in Journalism and Public Affairs with concentrations in broadcast and international journalism. After her July 2010 graduation, she aims to work as a foreign correspondent in Latin America or the Middle East. Brianna’s career goals include working with media outlets that represent oppressed populations and mentoring young journalists in a professorial or professional role.
Brianna graduated from Wake Forest University in May 2009 with a B.A. in English and minors in journalism and Latin American studies. Her favorite undergraduate work is “Eating Disorders: A Wake Forest Reality,” a piece about the presence of eating disorders on campus and one young woman’s struggle to overcome her illness. Other notable work includes a video piece covering Vice President Joe Biden’s campus campaign stop and its influence on students’ voting preferences. Brianna graduated cum laude overall with a 3.7 GPA in journalism coursework. She is proud to have been chosen to represent the university as its Coca-Cola First Generation Scholarship recipient.
Studying and teaching English in Buenos Aires, Argentina, during fall 2007 affirmed Brianna’s decision to take her passion for journalism across cultures.

On U.S. soil, Brianna interned for a year at WXII-TV in Winston-Salem, N.C., where her duties included editing audio and video, creating packages, and writing copy. Brianna’s print experience includes a seven-month stint as the editorial intern for Pace Communications in Greensboro, N.C., where she fact-checked, edited, and wrote for inflight publications Delta Sky Magazine, U.S. Airways Magazine, United Hemispheres, and Southwest Spirit. Other internship experience includes three months at a major New Jersey law firm editing Web content, writing online news stories, and translating all content into Spanish. In addition to her Spanish skills, Brianna speaks, reads, and writes at a beginning level of Modern Standard Arabic competency.
