about
Hi, I’m Jewel, a third-year Journalism student at The University of Texas at Austin. I’m currently a Digital Content Intern for Moody College.
Previously, I served as a Life & Arts reporter at The Daily Texan, where I covered stories exploring culture, music, and the arts through a long-form, narrative lens. Before that, I worked as a Social Media Staffer for the paper, creating digital content and supporting audience engagement across platforms.
I also previously worked as a Digital Media Intern for Texas Tasty, where I contributed to social content, digital storytelling, and audience engagement.
This past May, I participated in a Documentary Photography Storytelling May Term in Dublin, where my group and I focused on covering asylum seekers. During this time, I photographed feature profile stories, protests, community uprisings, and English learning centers.
I’ve also worked with KUTX, Burnt X Orange, and the Knight Center for the Americas, gaining experience in digital media, broadcast production, and multimedia storytelling.
Ultimately, I hope to tell stories about the films, music, and creative communities that shape culture and inspire me.
If I’m not writing or taking photos, I’m usually hosting movie nights, exploring Austin, or at a concert.
