Texas A&M University-Commerce student Brianna Patt is currently receiving first-hand experience in her chosen field as an intern with Dallas Weekly. Patt, a senior majoring in journalism with a news-editorial emphasis, is also the current opinion editor for The East Texan campus newspaper and has served on the staff since 2017. Patt's scope of work with Dallas Weekly has run the gamut from politics, features, sports and more. Patt will graduate in August of this year and plans to pursue a career in journalism.
