Hi there! My name is Haleigh Kochanski and I am a journalist with a passion for news, entertainment, and storytelling. In 2022, I graduated from from the Walter Cronkite School for Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University with a bachelor's degree in Journalism and Mass Communication with a focus in political science.
The intention of this website is to display to you, the reader, my credentials as a journalist. I’ve had a knack for reading and writing ever since I was a young child. This passion of mine turned into a developing aspiration to make a career out of a hobby. I write profiles, breaking news stories, features and in-depth coverage of news events, personal essays and enterprise stories. Professionally, I currently work as a blogger and am on the hunt for my next job opportunity. Personally, I work as a barista at Starbucks. I've worked as a Breaking News reporter for azcentral.com, the 21st largest daily newspaper in the United States. In the past, I served as a news correspondent for Arizona PBS - Cronkite News in Washington D.C. and freelanced for a multitude of hyper-local publications in the Phoenix-Metro area. In addition, I've had profiles published in two books as a part of "Since You Asked," an annual publication from Veterans Heritage Project that tells the stories of U.S. Veterans and has a home in the Library of Congress. When I'm not writing, you can find me geeking out about movies, reading books, baking pies, and lifting weights at the gym. |
