Kristina DaPonte
I recently graduated from Northeastern University in Boston, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in journalism with a minor in communication studies. My interests lie in explanatory journalism, general assignment news stories, profile writing and feature stories, audience engagement, social media strategy and design, and copy editing.
Currently, I am a summer intern at The New Bedford Light, a nonprofit and nonpartisan digital news outlet in my hometown. I was previously the lifestyle editor and deputy lifestyle editor for Northeastern's school newspaper, The Huntington News. I worked at Boston Globe Media as the Boston.com Community Co-op and at Northeastern's College of Social Sciences and Humanities as a Marketing and Communications Co-op.
