Michaela Wilson

Hello! My name is Michaela and I’m a first year law student at DePaul University’s College of Law with a B.A. in Journalism. I was born and raised in Bartlett, Illinois, where I discovered my passion for reporting.

Throughout my four years in high school, I was in a broadcasting and film academy where I anchored both magazine and news shows, finding a love for being in front of the screen. During those years, I carried with me an interest in the legal field.

Transitioning into college, I knew that I wanted to incorporate my two fields of interest into a future career. I applied for DePaul’s BA/JD 3+3 program and was able to explore both law and journalism in my higher education.

I became an anchor and reporter for Good Day DePaul and a writer for Chicago Star Media. I am currently working as a Clerk at the law offices of Levin and Perconti. After graduating with my doctorate degree, I hope to combine my interest in law and broadcast journalism into a career of investigative and legal reporting.
