Glissette Santana joined Knight Foundation’s 2016 summer internship program in May. She works with Michael D. Bolden, the editorial director.

Santana is a senior at the University of Houston, where she studies journalism with an English minor. She worked for The Cougar, the university’s student-run newspaper, for two and a half years, in positions from reporter to editor in chief.

A Texas native, Santana looks forward to exploring Miami’s culture, diversity and, most importantly, food.
