Aimee Kuvadia ’11
Current Gig: Writer/Editor at RYOT and Virgin.com in Los Angeles, CA
Internship while at Bellarmine: The Voice-Tribune (newspaper writing and editing) and St. Francis High School (public relations and marketing intern)
“I really enjoyed my communication theory class with Dr. Ruth Wagoner. I had never before had the opportunity to explore the relation between philosophy and communication, which I found very interesting and applicable to real-world situations. Before Bellarmine, I didn’t know what I could achieve. Without the help of Bellarmine’s faculty, I probably wouldn’t be in graduate school right now. I was also proud of writing for The Concord.
Seeing a byline with my name above stories I had written made me feel really good inside.”

I always knew Bellarmine University was the college for me. However, the School of Communication reinforced my decision and made my experience at Bellarmine great.”
