Experience

Ria started her professional journalism career in 2019 as an editorial intern at In These Times, a progressive political magazine based in Chicago. There, she pitched, researched, and wrote about comprehensive sex-ed for marginalized youth. Soon after, she joined her university school newspaper, 14East Magazine, reporting on mental health, pop culture, and the COVID-19 pandemic. She's gone on to work as a contributing writer for Well+Good, Uterinekind, and GoodGoodGood. She's fascinated by and well-versed in the health and wellness space, learning how to bridge the gap between inaccessible healthcare and its impact on underrepresented communities.
