About Me
Hi, I'm Nicole Townsend, and I am currently a junior Student Journalist at Emerson College. I also have a double minor in Pre-Law, African American, and Africana Studies. I am interested in various aspects of journalism, including print and visual storytelling. In high school, I was Editor in Chief of my school's newspaper, The Cavalier Times, and graduated with two Editor in Chief medals. Also, I was the Head Anchor of my school's broadcast, South Side Live, so I have experience in broadcast journalism, including writing scripts and speaking in front of a camera. I was also awarded a medal for South Side Live as well.
Furthermore, I was the chosen representative for Pennsylvania for The Washington Journalism and Media Conference 2020, and I was an intern for The Cornell Hospital Newspaper at New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, New York, NY. Moreover, I interned for Journey Beyond Aspen Magazine in the summer of 2023 and have written for The Bay State Banner in 2023-2024. I am vice president of Flawless Brown, an organization dedicated to uplifting self-identifying women and nonbinary people of color, and Chair of Flawless Sisterhood. I am also the Communication Outreach Coordinator for Emerson's Chapter of the National Association for Black Journalists. I am a Staff Writer for many of the magazines on campus, including Flawless Writes and YourMag. I also write for WEBN Web. I am dedicated and driven in what I do. I love storytelling and have an immense passion for sharing others' stories.
