Michelle Larkin

Health + Human Rights Reporter

5 Articles

Hello! My name is Michelle Larkin (she/her/hers) and I'm a senior journalism and English double major at the University of Maryland, College Park. I'm currently the health and human rights reporter for Capital News Service in Annapolis, but previously I was the equity reporter for The Diamondback. I enjoy writing features and anything that deals with culture, because I believe journalism is a powerful tool that can capture the realities of people, including marginalized communities. I speak English and Korean, and am familiar with HTML, CSS, Bootstrap and Adobe Photoshop & Cloud. Outside of journalism, I'm a big fan of The Weeknd and I enjoy crafting cocktails in my free time.
