Journalistic Work

From the age of seven, I frequently ran around my neighborhood, tattled on the other kids, and declared myself a "journalist." (As you can guess, I was very popular.) And until the age of 20, I continued on with journalism, through my elementary school homemade newsletter and blogs, middle school yearbook, high school newspaper, college newspaper, and then state newspaper (The Oklahoman). While I ultimately decided I wanted to pursue something more creative and project-based, I learned tons in my pursuit of journalism about subjectivity and ethics, about the people I wrote about and for, and about storytelling in general.

A note on my name: I was born Hannah Pike, but I didn't feel comfortable with that name. During college, I went by "HP" or "H. Pike." Upon graduation, I changed my name to Frankie. The switch is not yet legal.
