About Me
Hi! I'm Lola Oliverio. I am a senior undergraduate student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where I am double-majoring in Media and Journalism and Communication Studies with a concentration in rhetorical studies.
I am currently the lifestyle desk editor at The Daily Tar Heel, where I have previously served as a city and state senior writer and summer city and state editor. Over the past few years, I have interned for North Carolina Health News, NPR-affiliated WUNC 91.5 and Triangle Media Partners. I attended UNC Charlotte for my first year of college, where I worked as the assistant editor for the opinion section of Niner Times, Charlotte's student-run newspaper.
I am originally from the Chapel Hill-Carrboro area and found my passion for journalism through writing for my high school's newspaper, Proconian. I love writing about social issues, public health, local politics and music!
When I'm not at The Daily Tar Heel office, I am a DJ at WXYC 89.3 and occasionally write and produce content for their blog. In my free time, I play guitar and love to attend concerts and do crossword puzzles.
