Non-paying college newspaper. Getting journalistic experience by reporting. I have been writing for them since 2008.

I was selected to be a resident assistant after a rigorous selection process ran by Eastern's housing department. Here I learned leadership skills, time management, and people skills.

My high school had a program that allowed students to work for several hours of their school day. I was asked by the head of A/V department, Jim Schroeder, to be his assistant as I was knowledgable with cameras, video and audio editing stations, and writing. I did plenty of editing, camera work, and secretarial duties.
