My name is Elizabeth Collins, though most people call me Libby, and I’m a recent graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, where I studied Communication and Consumer Psychology. I’m originally from Phoenix, Arizona, and I’m driven by a lifelong passion for storytelling that informs, engages, and inspires.

That passion took a more focused shape during my internship at the Pew Research Center, where I studied how Americans consume news in a rapidly evolving digital landscape. I saw firsthand how vital it is to meet audiences where they are, on their phones, in their feeds, and across emerging platforms. It became clear to me that digital and video journalism weren’t just the future—they were the present. From that point forward, I set out to create content that is not only informative, but also accessible, engaging, and made for the mediums people use most.

At Penn, I co-founded POV – Penn on Video, the university’s first student-led news show. As co-chair, I produced and hosted video segments that examined global and local issues through the lens of the Penn community, blending on-camera reporting, video editing, and digital strategy. I also wrote for The WALK Magazine, analyzed television and media content at the Annenberg Public Policy Center, and interned at a Broadway production company in New York, gaining hands-on experience in content creation, audience engagement, and strategic storytelling.

Now back in Phoenix, I’ve joined KTAR News / Arizona Sports as a Digital/Video Intern, where I’m helping produce social-first content across the station’s news and sports platforms.

I thrive at the intersection of journalism, media, entertainment, and marketing—where storytelling isn’t just about information, but impact. Whether through video production, editorial work, or creative strategy, I aim to craft content that captivates audiences, challenges perspectives, and sparks meaningful conversation.
