The Reporter at Miami Dade College was really the launching pad of my student journalism career. As the Editor-in-Chief I mentored younger writers, assigned stories, went through pitches and critiqued them, proofread and fact checked stories in the editing process, and helping with layout decisions. Being the Editor-in-Chief was certainly a time of not only self development but a great learning experience.
