San Diego Native is NABJ’s 2013 Student Journalist of the Year

From humble byline beginnings at Steele Canyon High School in east San Diego, Marissa A. Evans has blossomed into a rising journalism star. She is currently a senior at Milwaukee’s Marquette University, where she launched a local student chapter for the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) and also started online magazine In Hue.

This summer, in the middle of her latest intern assignment, Evans will be traveling to the NABJ’s annual convention in Orlando to accept the 2013 Student Journalist of the Year prize.
