About Me

The Full Story

Photo of me.PNG

Hey everyone! My name is Rhania Kamel and I recently graduated Summa Cum Laude from Seton Hall University's class of 2020. Before graduating, I served as the News Copy Editor for the University's student-run newspaper, The Setonian. I was also a member of Lambda Pi Eta, the Communications Honor Society and the secretary of Seton Hall's chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists. 

​

My most recent internship was with NBCU where I worked as an editorial intern at Today.com. At my internship I gained invaluable experience learning skills essential to both the editorial side of the company and the on-air production side. I also gained experience with remote working and covering beats like the coronavirus.

​

I am currently part of NBC's News Associate program, a prestigious rotational program, that I am very excited to be a part of. I recently worked on the Rachel Maddow Show and am currently at The Today Show with their Crash Research Team

​

I have been passionate about writing from a young age and decided to make a career out of it. I have always been fascinated with the concept of internalizing and sharing news with others, and hope to dedicate my career to a constant pursuit of the truth. I am always on the lookout for new opportunities to grow and develop as a member of the media.

​

On this website, I have added the articles that I have written for TODAY.com, The Setonian, The Odyssey and CNBC. I look forward to writing more and learning more in this ever-changing field. Please take a look around my site and let me know what you think. Stay curious and never stop striving for the truth.

In my spare time, I enjoy travelling and visiting new places with my friends and family. I think that cultural immersion is important and have enjoyed visiting different places and cultivating my language skills. I not only enjoying meeting new people and understand their perspectives, I enjoy developing my multi-lingual abilities; currently I am fluent in English and conversational in Arabic and French. Above are a few photos from some of the trips I have taken during my life as well as photos of the inductions of the various organizations I participate in. I also included one of my favorite photos from the open house I worked at as a tour guide and a photo of me and Bob Woodward.

Beats I have covered

Throughout my career thus far as a journalist, I have covered the following types of stories: breaking news, politics, finance & business, feature stories, event coverage, professor and/or student spotlights, restaurant spotlights, show and movie reviews, celebrity news, pets, pop-culture and opinion pieces.

In addition to my experience as a journalist, I worked as an officer of undergraduate admission at Seton Hall giving tours to prospective students and their parents.

​

As an officer of undergraduate admissions I cultivated my public speaking skills while working as a tour guide and co-presenter of all that my university has to offer prospective students. 


I have also worked at my university's Writing Center as a peer tutor. As a peer tutor, I helped students review their essays and writing assignments for grammatical errors, structure, flow, ideas and adherence to various methods including but not limited to, AP style, APA, MLA and Chicago.

​

At my university, I also served as the secretary for Seton Hall's chapter of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars where I further enhance and broaden the scopes of my writing abilities. As secretary, I wrote down meeting minutes and facilitated communication between the e-board and inducted members, the e-board and prospective members and the e-board and other organizations and entities that we could possibly work with on charity and volunteer events

​

I was also a member of Seton Hall's chapter of Lambda Pi Eta. A few of my peers and I, along with our adviser have also helped found a Seton Hall chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists, where I served as the chapter's first secretary. 

​

I was also named the Raymod Peter Lukshis Scholarship recipient for the 2019-2020 school year. For the amount of $5,000, it is awarded to one junior yearly who is majoring in Communication or Media Arts on the basis of academic excellence, leadership and financial need.

​

Upon graduating, my cumulative GPA was 3.98 securing the status of Summa Cum Laude within Seton Hall's College of Communication and the Arts, a feat that I am extremely proud of and worked extremely hard for to achieve while balancing an internship, on-campus job, my courses and my extracurricular involvement and leadership. 

​

I also volunteered at my middle school, St. Aloysius Academy in Jersey City, NJ by helping out with their newspaper club. I assist the club advisers by writing articles, editing the work of the student reporters and putting together and organizing the layout for the monthly publication.
