Eden Shamy
I'm Eden, a multimedia journalist and student at The University of Texas at Austin. I grew up traveling the world, writing in my journals, and developing a passion for global cultures, news and politics. Studying at one of the best schools for journalism, I've honed my writing and expanded my creativity into broadcast, audio, coding and data journalism. My work exploring local policy, live music and activism has been featured in The Austin Chronicle, The Daily Texan, Burnt X Orange Magazine, and more.
