Hello classmates! My name is Desiree Bascomb and I am a
senior here at Rutgers-Newark where I double major in Journalism and Political
Science. I spent this past summer interning in Washington DC, at a personal
injury law firm. This experience challenged me intellectually and
professionally and largely influenced my current professional aspirations. I
have goals of attending law school, and ultimately pursuing a career in legal
and political analysis and commentary. I am from a very small, sheltered, town
in New Jersey but I have dreams of moving to D.C. and (as cliché as it sounds)
leaving my mark on the world. When it comes to politics, I have a particular
interest in domestic policy and social issues in the realm of politics. I
currently have two YouTube channels where I explore and analyze social issues
and current events. I love to read anything news or politics related and I am a
CNN junkie. I am fascinated by the media and its influence on the public. Social media is particularly interesting to
me along with our cultural obsession with instant gratification. I have linked
my letter to the editor that was published in the Washington Post. I look
forward to hearing from and working with all of you throughout the semester.
The above picture is a photo of me and my favorite CNN commentator, Dr. Marc Lamont Hill.
