A BIT ABOUT ME
In the dynamic world of journalism, content writing, and photography, my approach is rooted in a deep-seated belief in the power of patience, support, and understanding. My name is Autumn, and I've built my career on the foundation of creating narratives that resonate, informed by a friendly, laid-back communication style that prioritizes clarity and empathy. With a keen eye for detail and a passion for storytelling, my work is a reflection of my dedication to not just meeting but exceeding expectations, whether through written words or visual storytelling.
I hold a Master's degree in Journalism from New York University, where I honed my skills and deepened my passion for storytelling. My journey began with a Bachelor's degree in Communications and Journalism from the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, where I laid the foundation for my career in journalism, content writing, and photography. These academic experiences have shaped my ability to think critically, communicate effectively, and produce compelling narratives that engage and inform.
