Integrity in Digital Storytelling
Who is Emily Steele?
I am a graduate of Rutgers University (Class of 2026) who wants to make her mark in the Media Industry.
I believe that digital storytelling is not just about the final frame or the click of a button, but about the context in which that story is told.
I am, and have always been a storyteller. Whether it be on the stage or on a page, I enjoy the art of presentation and imparting information to others.
