Greetings, readers and listeners! My name is Maya Hand (pictured above, at right). I am a rising senior journalism major at the University of Maryland in the Philip Merrill College of Journalism. I am minoring in science, technology, ethics and policy. I want to be a science communicator, doing science writing as well as formats like podcast and video. I have contributed as a science writer to UMD’s College of Computer, Mathematical and Natural Sciences (CMNS) News site. I have also written and produced an audio package for WMUC News, UMD’s student-led radio. I am about to depart for a two-week study abroad program in Tanzania, where I will collaborate with students from UMD and the University of Dar es Salaam to create a broadcast about Dar es Salaam’s youth-led innovations against climate change.
I enjoy dancing, listening to podcasts, hiking, and eating international cuisines! I am excited to join the Washington Gardener magazine. I look forward to learning more about gardening and getting to engage with the local gardening community!
Hello everyone! My name is Koree Perry (pictured above, on left) and I am a senior studying Multi-Platform Journalism Philip Merrill College of Journalism at the University of Maryland College Park, and I will be one of two of the interns this summer for Washington Gardener Magazine. I’m a native of Baltimore City, MD, and while I’m a beginner at all things gardening, I’m excited to learn and write this summer! I was a freelance writer and copy editor for Her Campus, a Gen Z lifestyle publication on campus, as well as the historian for the Maryland Association of Black Journalists for the 2025-2026 term.
Outside of my time with Washington Gardener, I love to cook, read, and write fiction (I’m currently working on writing my first book)! I’m excited to be apart of this wonderful magazine and able to write meaning stories about gardening for you all to hopefully enjoy!
