Newspaper publications

Hello all,

As I may have mentioned before, I'm an opinion columnist for my university's newspaper, The Trinitonian. Here are links to some of my work:

It's been a pleasure to write for The Trinitonian these past several months. Before getting this job, I had a lot of doubts as to whether or not I would be good enough for it. I wondered what I'd be able to contribute to the paper that others would find valuable and insightful. As it turns out, writing opinion columns has been a great way for me to open up and discuss a wide variety of concepts in an open way. I've been hearing more and more people say that they've been reading my columns, which feels wonderful. The other day, when I was introducing myself to someone, they even asked if I wrote for The Trinitonian, to which I replied with an enthusiastic "Yes!" He said that he liked my columns, which felt very reassuring. It's a great feeling to know that people can put a name to a face and start to associate you more with your writing.

Being an opinion columnist for The Trinitonian has also made me consider writing for other newspapers in the future, as well as additional magazines and journals not directly affiliated with my university. Of course, I'll continue to submit my creative writing to various publications, but I'd also like to keep writing columns. It has really helped me to open up and be more honest about my opinions.

Stay tuned for more in the near future! In the meantime, check out my Facebook page:
