Kayla Nguyen
reporter in Portland, Oregon
Hi! My name is Kayla Nguyen. I'm a driven student reporter majoring in journalism at the University at Oregon. I'm set to graduate in the spring of 2023.
During my time in the School of Journalism and Communication, I have gained an active awareness of the media landscape: how it has changed, and what it looks like today. The SOJC has also been instrumental in culturing a fervent curiosity and passion for storytelling in me.
Throughout my four-year education in Eugene, I have tutored with Writing Central and written for The Daily Emerald, OR Magazine and Clark Honors College on campus.
This past summer, I interned with the Albany Democrat-Herald in Albany, Oregon as a news reporter, covering a range of topics from crime to community events. Currently, I produce features for the SOJC.
My journalism can adapt to any beat, using empathy and ethics to amplify local stories.
