Heart racing and blood-pumping excitement, fueled by determination and ambition to get a good story, were how I was introduced to the world of journalism at a young age. My teachers were derived from fictional movies and comics like Louis Lane and April O’Neil, who were the reflection of journalism.

Over the last two and a half years I have had the privilege of working with the best team in Lenoir County. I was 15, almost 16, when I applied for the 2019 Summer Internship. All I knew was that I loved social media and I loved Kinston. Not only did that summer change me for the better, but I was lucky enough to officially join the team, and I have been here ever since.

A few years ago, when I returned to newsrooms as a freelance writer, it was like a ghost town. Daily newspapers are far from perfect, but we rely on the coverage of everything from football games, government gatherings, school board meetings, church notes, and community interest ranging from weddings to obituaries. Local reporters work to bring us information about elections, candidates, courts and education that is essential to our democracy. I’ve learned firsthand that deadlines pay no respect to holidays, hospital visits, weekends or family vacations.
