About Me

My name is Delia Rangel and I'm from California’s Central Valley. I moved to New York for school after graduating high school in 2023. I'm currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Magazine, News and Digital Journalism at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University with a minor in Food Studies. I'm particularly interested in politics, food and how they intersect. I currently serve as News Editor of The Daily Orange and Managing Editor of Baked Magazine. I was also chosen to join The New York Times Corps in 2023 for the duration of my undergraduate career. I have a strong passion for storytelling and am eager to learn. Read some of my work below!
