Summary:
I have had experience both reporting and writing in high school and college level journalism classes. At my high school newspaper I served as both a feature editor and a copy editor (in addition to reporting on news stories). I'm currently enrolled in journalism classes at Temple University and plan on pursuing journalism as a career. In addition, I held two internships this summer, one at Mood Magazine, and the other at The Sarah Scoop, who I still write for.
