My name is Grace Monos, and I am a fourth-year journalism student at Arizona State University’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication, where I’m expanding on my passion for impactful, people-centered storytelling. I’m originally from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, but I moved across the country to pursue a career in journalism.
I’ve had many incredible experiences during my time at the Cronkite School. At the Cronkite News Washington, D.C. Bureau, I worked as a social justice reporter covering Arizona politics on Capitol Hill. In the summer of 2024, I traveled to Rwanda to document the teen pregnancy crisis and the lack of reproductive education through a photo story that combined my love for photography with investigative reporting.
I’ve interned with GreenDesert.org, where I focused on sustainability and climate change coverage, and at Elizabethtown College, where I created media content and wrote for Etown News. On the side, I am a freelance photojournalist.
I am currently looking for a full-time position starting in May 2026, with the goal of pursuing a career in photojournalism.
