I wrote concert and album reviews for the nationally syndicated, female-focused publication. The majority of my articles were published on the Web portion of the magazine.

As the Underwriting Intern, I worked directly with the Underwriting Director. I composed the weekly sales reports using Allegiance, Goldmine and Oracle. I composed several media scans comparing the station’s supporters to other media outlets’ advertisers to see which companies were spending money and where. I also compiled reports taking local news into account against the station’s weekly ratings. As the Underwriting Director’s intern, I was often the go-to person for sales communication. For instance, when we traded on-air and web spots for two retreat dates at a local hotel, I served as the bridge between my supervisor and the hotel’s Director of Sales and Marketing. Working with the sales team of a non-profit alternative radio station in a down market allowed me to think outside otherwise narrow parameters. This experience also helped me gain invaluable knowledge about sales.
