My name is Tayeba Hussein and I am a senior majoring in digital/print journalism and minoring in creative writing at the University of Central Florida. I have spent my college career developing the knowledge and skills necessary to becoming a reputable reporter. I am a motivated young journalist who is actively seeking opportunities to put my skills to action.

I have attained journalism experience in a variety of topics while working for the news organizations NSM Today, the Fort Myers News-Press and the Naples Daily News. I have covered topics including health and science, the housing industry, crime, food and general lifestyle. 

Outside of my dedication to the Fourth Estate, I indulge in hobbies like creative writing (poetry, short stories), baking and embroidery. I am a cat mom and I am dedicated to maintaining an active lifestyle. I grew up in Southwest Florida and am a nature-lover who enjoys spending time outdoors.
