ABOUT
¡Hola! Soy Amie. I'm a young journalist, born and raised in the Twin Cities. I have an interest in all things culturally and emotionally engaging. Photos, videos, articles, books, museums, art galleries, protests, rallies, etc. My dream is to interview experts and important figures from the worlds of art and entertainment, as well as the fields of science and human rights. I want to write stories that give light and humanize, that help create a more healing and just narrative of today's issues. I enjoy poetry, nature, and social and environmental justice.
​
I will be graduating spring 2021 from the University of Minnesota with a bachelor's degree in journalism and minors in art and anthropology.
RESUME
Professional Experience
As a student of media and culture, I'm interested in emotionally engaging communities with stories focused on science, art, and issues of justice.
