Nice to meet you!
My name is Casey Griffith (they or she). I’m a media & journalism major at UNC-Chapel Hill with a particular focus in copy editing and graphic design. I’m pursuing a career in journalism because I love sharing stories that uplift, inspire and inform. Outside of my journalism classes, I am part of Carolina Choir, one of UNC’s auditioned choirs. I also enjoy rock climbing, jigsaw puzzles and reading. Below you’ll find my resume and more about me.
More About Me
I grew up in Clemmons, NC. Carolina was always the dream for me, and from early in high school I knew I wanted to pursue journalism. I worked for my high school newspaper as an opinion writer, sports writer and then opinion editor, and took special interest in copy editing for my peers. It wasn’t until my junior year at Carolina that I took a graphic design class and realized it is also something I’m passionate about. During the reminder of my time at Carolina, I focused heavily on developing my graphic design skills. I joined the Daily Tar Heel, an independent student-run newspaper, in February 2024 and have contributed work to organizations such as UNC Media Hub and Duke University Graduate School.
My family now lives in Oak Ridge, NC. We have two dogs: Tucker (Border Collie mix, 4.5 yrs) and Toby (Golden Retriever/German Shepherd mix, 5 yrs). I love to spend time with them when I’m home.
