Hello! 

Welcome to Rayonna Burton-Jernigan's Journalism Portfolio

Hello and welcome to my corner of the digital world! I'm Rayonna, a passionate and dedicated journalist with a keen eye for storytelling and a commitment to delivering impactful narratives.

I am a recently transitioned Business Reporter with 3 years of experience in the ever-evolving realm of journalism. My journey has taken me through audio reporting to photojournalism to culture and diversity reporting, where I've honed my skills in research, interviewing, writing, editing, multimedia production, etc.

 I believe in the power of journalism to inform, inspire, and create positive change. Throughout my career, I have worked on projects regarding D.C. statehood, LGBTQ+ rights, insurrection trail coverage and more throughout the years. My work is characterized by a blend of feature writing mixed with odd topics and I am constantly seeking innovative ways to engage and connect with my audience.

Explore my portfolio to discover a collection of my best work from graduate school leading into my growing career. Each piece is a testament to my commitment to journalistic excellence.

I'm always open to new opportunities, collaborations, and discussions. Whether you're an editor, fellow journalist, or someone passionate about the power of storytelling, let's connect!

Thank you for visiting, and I look forward to sharing stories that matter with you.

Rayonna
