About Me.
Through stories, one can live many lives...
I'm Vivian Wu, a multimedia journalist whose mission is to deliver stories through various mediums. Beginning my creative journey in high school in Iowa, I joined a small group of students and teachers in reviving our school publication, The Talon. From there, our publication grew to a staff of over 50 members with a website, print issue, and numerous award-winning works.
I've taken multiple leadership positions as a co-editor for The Talon and a lead producer for my school's video production team, earning various awards along the way, including an Iowa Top 10 Emerging Journalist Award in Spring 2023.
