Opinion: Don’t submit to outdated trends as lifestyles. It reinforces patriarchal norms.
While the pronatalist school of thought is directly concerned with regressing the opportunities of women in the domestic sphere and the working world, it emerged alongside a social media phenomenon in which many conservative women took to the internet to share and promote their traditional lifestyles.
Opinion: Accepting taboos as new norm dilutes conversation, personal thought
In feeling the effect of all the words unsaid in class last week, I determined for the first time that a culture of fear has permeated our classrooms in a way that seriously damages the educational experience for both students and educators.
Opinion: Reality contradicts media’s portrayal of vast generational gaps
From what I gathered, it seemed the dynamic we’ve accepted is a rite of passage for older generations to make fun of the generation entering the adult world – in return, it’s the younger generation’s right to be angry or defiant. This all results in a deeper divide between the cohorts – but according to the theory, that’s okay.
Opinion: Sweeney’s soap campaign marks a step back for feminism, but it’s not her fault
To oversimplify, money is power. Therefore, women utilizing their sexuality to make money should be powerful. But it isn’t that simple.
Opinion: Valuing social media over real art hurts our chances for revolution
Trump’s attack on the Kennedy Center symbolizes his greater desire to deconstruct and reorganize American art institutions to prevent political dissent through expression.
Personal Essay: Finding comfort in solitude deepens connections with others
We do ourselves a favor by presently sitting in the discomfort of being alone rather than fighting against it.
Personal Essay: College provides a chance to lose your identity, find it again

Opinion: Removing DEIA makes academic, workplace meritocracy impossible
While it’s not the role of college students to reverse these threats ourselves, it’s vital that we recognize the dangerous fallacies in Trump’s idea of merit.
Opinion: Gen Z prioritizes appearance of productivity over true connection
In other cultures, the concept of work-life balance isn’t a pipe dream, but a balanced, normalized way of living.
Opinion: Study history’s patterns to combat Trump’s corruption
You might think our historical knowledge and natural desire to advance society would deter us from toying with the same terrible ideas that have historically resulted in pain. But the nuances of history and predictability of patterns right now reveal a different story.

Beat Writing: Housing
As a media intern for the CNY Women's Network in spring of 2023, I worked on a few profile pieces for their blog.

Beat Writing: Housing
Beat Writing: Housing
At Newhouse, all MND students take Reporting (MND305). Each student is given the opportunity to select a beat to write on.
During my semester I picked housing as my beat. In the wake of a Syracuse housing crisis and the I-81 viaduct removal, I found that my work could only graze the surface of an issue that I have since been highly interested in reporting on.
