COFFEE TIME NEWS STUDENT JOURNALIST
NAME: Maria Silva
START DATE / END DATE: January 2022 - PRESENT
MARIA'S HIGHLIGHTS:
As one of the original Coffee Time News student journalists, Maria holds a special place in the history of our publication. She has been part of the team since its earliest days and has watched Coffee Time News grow from a small student project into a publication featuring interviews with accomplished artists and public figures from around the world.
Maria is particularly at home in front of the camera. Whether participating in an interview or helping create promotional videos for our latest editions, her outgoing personality and natural confidence allow her to bring energy to the screen. Her experience as a dancer and performer has also made her comfortable in situations where many young people might feel nervous or self-conscious.
Over the years, Maria has helped give Coffee Time News a public face, participating in interviews and promotional projects while bringing her own personality and enthusiasm to the team. As one of the students who has been with us from the beginning, she will always be an important part of the Coffee Time News story.

MARIA'S FAVORITES / INTERESTS:
