The Keough Founding Editors' Award

During my senior year at St. John Fisher University, my exceptional contribution to the excellence of the Cardinal Courier was recognized when I was awarded the Keough Founding Editors' Award.

My journey began as a photographer and staff writer, where I discovered my passion for capturing moments and telling stories. Through hard work and dedication, I quickly advanced to roles such as magazine page designer and managing editor. Demonstrating exceptional design and leadership skills, I earned promotions to the esteemed positions of editor-in-chief and design editor.

Leading the Cardinal Courier was a transformative experience for me. I had the privilege of guiding a talented team and witnessing their remarkable growth. Under my direction, the publication reached new heights of creativity and journalistic excellence. I am proud to say that our collective efforts made the Cardinal Courier an outstanding platform for authentic storytelling and engaging content.

Receiving this award is a testament to my unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional media experiences. I am deeply honored to have made a lasting impact on the Cardinal Courier and set an example for aspiring journalists and media professionals.

This recognition was presented by Professor Jeremy Sarachan, chair of the Department of Media and Communication.
