Aleksandra Shogan
Hello!
I'm Aleksandra Shogan, a student at Syracuse University with the passion and drive to focus my future on public communications. Since I was young I was constantly surrounded by news organizations as my Dad was very interested in political news stories. My young self drove me to journalism as I participated in elementary school news, and as I got older I joined numerous classes at my high school located in Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania. I did everything from writing articles for the school newspaper, to taking photos in yearbook, and broadcasting most mornings. My passion lies in creating fun and lighthearted stories based in relationships and entertainment. Joining on campus magazine further ignited that spark inside me. But that's not all, my life has been greatly impacted by mental illness and with my journalism degree from Newhouse I plan to be the words for many voices who suffer with mental health problems.
