Pauline Day: Multi-Tasker
An interview with current Columbia Links student, Pauline Day
Story by: Vinessa Gabrielle
After just two days of being in the program, Pauline is upbeat. “I feel good. I think this program will help me figure out if journalism is something I want to do when I get older,” she explains. A native of Chicago, Pauline gives me background on herself and her future plans. Since she is currently an editor of her school newspaper, her insight into the news happening now is pretty precise. Determined and organized, Pauline plans to become a TV news producer as well as a print editor-in-chief.
