Self written biographies–I always struggle with them. My goal is to not come across too pretentious, but not too lack luster either. That should give some insight personality wise already. I’m a 21 year old Public Relations and Journalism student (senior) in Utica area. Originally being from the city, I’ve only recently grown accustom to the local deer that perch outside my window. I’ll be covering the topic of education and all it’s joys.

Tionna DeFreitas
My name is Tionna DeFreitas, I am a junior at Utica College studying broadcast journalism, in hopes of becoming an entertainment correspondent in the future. I was born and raised In Utica, New York located in the heart of central New York. I have a treasured love with my hometown and take pride in the city of Utica. There’s a lot of nooks and crannies to this city that not everyone notices. My dreams in becoming an entertainment correspondent started back my junior year of high school, I was good at writing, but did not like writing, so I said why not take it a bit further and involve writing with things I enjoy the most. Anything related to fashion, makeup or celebrity news are right up my alley. My dream job would have to be a correspondent on E! News. I enjoy writing, but enjoy talking just as much and what better way to pursue a career involving those two things other than working for E! in my spare time I enjoy cooking, crafting shopping, watching Grey’s Anatomy and hanging with my pups.

After graduating from Utica College, I’d love to land a job as a TV reporter or as a fashion editor for a high-end magazine such as Marie Claire, Elle, or Vogue. I’d be happy with either job.
