Passionate about storytelling and sports, he hopes to turn his love for journalism and athletics into a career in sports media after graduation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is your major and graduation year?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am a Journalism major in the class of 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Where are you from, and why did you choose URI?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am from Merrick, New York, a town on the south shore of Long Island. I chose URI because I really loved the culture, location, and everything it had to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What has been your favorite course, and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My favorite course was probably JOR 310- Journalism Laws and Ethics with Jason Jaacks. A really interesting class taught by a professor I always enjoyed learning from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You are a part of the student newspaper, the Good 5 Cent Cigar. How has this opportunity shaped your college experience?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I never got super involved with the Cigar, but the brief experience I did have really helped me get out of my comfort zone and gain hands-on experience as a journalist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In your time here at URI, what are some opportunities and experiences that have been the most meaningful to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was lucky enough to be selected as a delegate to represent URI in Seoul, South Korea, this past November. During this experience, I reported on initiatives URI was advancing in the region to build connections, recruit international students, and create study-abroad opportunities. This was not only my most worthwhile experience at URI, but it was one of the coolest things I&#8217;ve done in my life. URI has given me a lot, but this really stands out as one of my proudest accomplishments here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What are your career goals and future plans?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My goal moving forward is to work in sports journalism or sports media. To combine 2 of my passions in life would be all I could ask for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><em>This story was written by Rebecca Minichino, intern for the Harrington School\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/harrington\/creative-spaces\/social-media-agency\/\">Social Media Agency<\/a><\/em><\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Journalism<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3771,"featured_media":15858,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[108,98,12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15857","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-108","category-journalism","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/harrington\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15857","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/harrington\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/harrington\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/harrington\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3771"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/harrington\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15857"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/harrington\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15857\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15860,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/harrington\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15857\/revisions\/15860"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/harrington\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15858"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/harrington\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15857"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/harrington\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15857"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/harrington\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15857"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
