Hi! I'm Ada.

This is my website — my portfolio, my resume, my blog and a collection of everything I create all in one space.

 

When I was 12-years-old, I took an interest in photography. I took photos on my phone and even got a cheap used camera in 2012. I've been taking photos for fun, for art and even for money since then and heavily throughout high school. Slowly, I gained an interest in video editing and made short films of family events, vacations or anything that piqued my interest. I started as a film major when I went to college.

During my time in college I found a new passion in journalism when I started working for the independent student newspaper, The Signal. As a spring 2021 graduate of Georgia State University, I left with two degrees — a B.A. in journalism and a B.A. in political science — a 4.05 GPA and three years of hands-on career experience under my belt. I interned for Atlanta's local magazine, radio station and newspaper: Atlanta magazine, Georgia Public Broadcasting and Atlanta Journal-Constitution. I spent years at the student paper working my way up from staff reporter to news editor to editor-in-chief. I participated in a student investigative unit, Georgia News Lab. And to cap it all off I spent a semester within the features department at CNN.

During these first three years of my career, I was extremely intentional about experimenting with different beats, topics, mediums of communicating and styles of writing. Now with a little bit of everything under my belt, I'm ready to pursue the things I learned I love most.

Now, I'm freelancing — writing, fact-checking and doing community outreach. I'm taking time to hone my craft and focus in on the stories I want to tell most. I'm currently pitching to and accepting assignments from editors. I hope to continue finding voices and amplifying them, finding the truth and sharing it.

No matter what brought you to this site, whether you're a family member, a friend or a hiring manager, I hope you can find what you are looking for on this site and learn a little bit more about me on the way.
