Natalie Benoit is an undergraduate journalism student at Emerson College. She grew up in a Dominican-American household with her parents and younger sister. Natalie's passions include shopping, learning about conspiracy theories and following the superhero (Marvel and DC) cinematic universes. She also enjoys traveling to the Dominican Republic, getting bubble tea from different establishments and spending time with family. She aspires to be a broadcast journalist focused on humanitarian or entertainment news. Her passion for journalism began in middle school and continued to develop throughout high school when she began as a writer for the online paper. Her high school’s digital paper, The Lance, gave Natalie the opportunity to practice her reporting ability, interviewing skills and editing techniques. She is now considering investigative reporting and general news and other platforms to venture in during her time as an Emerson student. She has worked in WEBN Boston, the Morning Show at WERS 88.9, Emertainment Monthly and their multimedia platform, MANE Access. She is currently part of the Arts+Culture editorial staff for Affinity Magazine. Natalie is looking to graduate in four years with her bachelor's degree, and with a minor in public relations.
