Chelsea Toy
A junior from Apollo, Pennsylvania, Chelsea has complemented her journalism major with additional coursework in African American Studies and Swahili. Her Roy W. Howard National Collegiate Reporting Award will provide a 13-day, all-expenses paid trip to Japan and South Korea. During the trip, she will network with media professionals and learn more about the history and culture of the countries.
Chelsea works as a campus staff writer for the “Athens News” and has interned as a journalist in Cape Town, South Africa, and Washington, D.C. She is a past recipient of Lasher-Evarts Quality of Writing Award, Copley Newspaper Association Scholarship, Scripps College of Communication Scholarship, Dean’s Scholarship, and the Sarah Katherine Ullman Internship/Scholarship. She also has served as an out-of-state ambassador for the Scripps School of Journalism. In her spare time, she races barrel horses and hopes to one day write for a publication that covers the horse industry.
“Chelsea has been a great addition to our staff and her upcoming trip to Asia will round off her experience as a reporter. She is professional and reliable and has shown the ability to dig deep for the underlying story. She’s just great to work with.”
Terry Smith, editor, "Athens News"
