Beginning in 2019, I interned for the Pataskala Post as a reporter and head of social media in my hometown as a program through my high school for students to gain early work experience in a field of their interest. I continued with journalism at The University of Tennessee where I worked for a fitness and nutrition company as a blog writer. I wrote in a column style with the blog, sharing tips and tricks for nutrition, fashion, and fitness.

After transferring to the Ohio State University, I began writing at The Lantern as a freelancer. The next semester I would be moved to the Arts and Life desk as the comedy beat writer where my skill in AP style writing was expanded. My experience at The Lantern lead me to interviewing new and diverse people in the Columbus, OH area.

Beginning work at Buckeye TV taught me new editing skills and how production works. I spent time in front of the camera, behind the camera, and in the production booth. Production, although new to me, is something I caught onto quickly and lead to producing a short news video to accompany an article I wrote at The Lantern for Lantern TV.

I am a current intern for Scott Social, a social media management company that works fully remote nationwide. I’m highly versed in SEO-optimizing for captions on social media and blogs for search engine/Pinterest engagement.

I hold the title of Social Media Manager at CC’s Retreats, an Airbnb company that has homes in Ohio, Tennessee, Texas, and Michigan. I’ve been rebuilding their brand image and optimizing all things content to gain a social following from the ground up. This is a small, female-owned, business where I’ve learned a lot of skills in entrepreneurship, networking, and digital marketing.
