About Gracie
Third-year at Northwestern
Journalism major
Data science minor
Segal design certificate
I believe compelling narratives with impactful visuals connect with audiences in meaningfully personal ways.
Therefore, I strive to achieve this by valuing...
Transparency
Communicating ideas effectively and purposefully to make them more comprehensible to all audiences
Authenticity
Shifting away from "objective" storytelling in traditional journalism and instead committing to meaningful writing in its raw form
Experimentation
Learning what works and doesn't through rigorous trial-and-error across different platforms and mediums
In my free time, I love...
Experimenting in the Kitchen
Unlike baking, cooking has more leeway with ingredients and measurements (as long as it tastes good in the end), so I love to experiment with age-old recipes I grew up watching my mom make or try something entirely new.
Crafting Spotify playlists
I like to think I have a diverse music taste, but my favorite artists are JVKE, Sasha Alex Sloan, and BIBI. If I like a song, I'm listening to it on repeat, but I also love listening to acoustic or stripped versions of the same song because I feel the artist's emotions better.
Watching
This is Us
I am currently binging the show This is Us, which has me tearing up every episode. The heavy storylines navigate taboo issues such as anxiety, substance abuse, and PTSD, but I feel the show authentically captures family dynamics in all its imperfect glory.
