Hello! I’m Florence, a junior at the George Washington University studying photojournalism. I’m so excited to be joining The Banner this summer as a photographer intern! Local news is my passion, having previously interned for a small newspaper in Warrenton, Virginia, and working as a photo editor for my school’s independent newspaper, the GW Hatchet, on the features beat. Long-form and underreported storytelling is my favorite form of photography, but I also love a good sports game. My experience also includes interning as a photographer for the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra and an archivist for Contact Press Images. I was raised in New Jersey and am opinionated about good pizza and bagels. I’m looking forward to trying Maryland’s crab cakes.
