Hello!
My name is Nina Sears. I'm currently a junior print journalism major with a Sociology concentration. Since being at the university, I've worked a great deal with the Maryland Association of Black Journalists and am a member of the National Association of Black Journalists. I've written for both the Diamondback and the Eclispe newspapers. I have two reporting internships under my belt: Big Builder Magazine and the Baltimore Sun. Both were great experiences because I actually got the chance to write and gain clips early in my journalism career.
I am also working toward a certificate in African American Studies. Over the summer I worked with the Children's Defense Fund and Maya Angelou Public Charter School in NE Washington, DC in a program called "Freedom Schools." Essentially, I was facilitating a reading curriculum created by the CDF. It was an amazing time; I enjoyed working with the "scholars" over the summer. Now that I'm a tutor at MAPCS, seeing them succeed in school makes me feel like I did something worthwhile.
