A bit of a late update but I am so excited to share that I just started my role as a White House Unit intern at @NBCNews in the DC bureau! I’m already loving it & very excited for everything I’ll learn this summer!

[Tolulope Ajayi @TolulopeOnTV]

Alsooo a hard launch of the new username & shameless promo of my journalism instagram! In case you want to follow along on my JOUR journey :)

Missing @merrillcollege extra today! Barcelona is amazing (but I secretly can’t wait to be back in Knight Hall 📹)

[Merrill College @ Maryland @merrillcollege]

This #merrillmonday, meet @TolulopeFAjayi, a junior from Ellicott City who hopes to work in TV as a multimedia journalist. She was a summer news intern @7NewsDC.

“I’m so grateful for all that I’m learning at Merrill that is preparing me for this goal,” she said. #merrillmade

[Tolulope Ajayi @TolulopeOnTV]

And they make the best mentors! 🤗

[Taylor Johnson @NewsladyTay]

We have a rising star on our hands! I may be biased, but those #MerrillMade Terps are the best journalists around!

[Tolulope Ajayi @TolulopeOnTV]

Overall I’m super grateful for all the lessons learned and can’t wait to keep growing in the next year— now let’s see what stories I can find in Barcelona 🛫

[Tolulope Ajayi @TolulopeOnTV]

As the semester ends, I want to share some of my favorite projects I worked on for #j361jd— my first experience reporting/writing/tracking/editing my own packages! I know I have a long way to go but I’m so excited for my future as a journalist 📹
As always feedback is welcome!!

[Tolulope Ajayi @TolulopeOnTV]

And lastly, our quick turn where we had to prove that we could do it all on a tight deadline. Working with @erin_burnett34 and getting to meet talented artists like @EJBJazz definitely made this one enjoyable

Sad day to be an Apple Music user

@JohannaWolkoff @WashWizards @Capitals You slay

[Tolulope Ajayi @TolulopeOnTV]

@nu1wcf I think interviewing students in Stamp about the State of the Union is exactly what prepared me for this moment

[Tolulope Ajayi @TolulopeOnTV]

The most humbling thing ever: recording a standup outside of Stamp at least 36 times 🤦🏾‍♀️
