Chelsea Katz is a broadcast journalism student at Stony Brook University. An Assistant Arts & Entertainment Editor at The Stony Brook Statesman and an intern at Times Beacon Record Newspapers, Katz has previously interned at newsday.com and hamptons.com. She has also reported from Kenya and Turkey.
Katz's favorite journalism experience was when she covered a one of the many tear-gas/ water cannon protests in Istanbul in January 2014. The protest was a five-minute walk away from Gezi Park, the home to a month's worth of protests the previous year.
When Katz is not reporting, she is a lifeguard and enjoys reading comedian autobiographies.
