Resource Center for Persons with Disabilities

PR Coordinator

The Resource Center for Persons with Disabilities at Michigan State University helps both students and employees empower themselves and become successful.

My job was to run the social media portion of the office, write the blog posts, take photos, design graphics, update and work on a Wordpress and do anything in between. I would also help set up Facebook events, promote those through social media. I would also design monthly infographics for posts such as International Sign Language Day.

Spartan Newsroom

Multimedia Reporter

Spartan Newsroom provides news and information about campus and the surrounding Michigan State University community. Content is produced by students enrolled in classes at or participating in extracurricular clubs affiliated with Michigan State’s School of Journalism. The goal is to use the Spartan Newsroom to provide a public service to the community while giving hands-on lessons about journalism to students.

While I worked at Spartan Newsroom, I was a multimedia reporter tasked with covering the small community outside of Lansing called Williamston. During my time, I wrote about the community's thoughts on the new Michigan Marijuana bill, goat yoga and a couple making art to raise money for students in Haiti.

The State News

Writer

The State News is an independent newspaper run by students who attend Michigan State University. It is a weekly newspaper that prints as well as posts online for over 52,000 students.

While at the State News I was a features reporter and the student government (ASMSU) reporter. During my time there I wrote a few sports stories, wrote the story about USA Gymnastics CEO resigning after the Nassar scandal, as well as about the first new building built from the ground up on campus since 1967.

Oakland County Prosper

Writer, Copyeditor

The Oakland County Prosper is magazine that comes out once a year. Oakland County is outside of metro Detroit and has a population of about 1.25 million.

I wrote for the Oakland County Prosper while I was an intern for the HOUR Media group in Troy, MI. This part of my internship required research and intense communication skills in order to get information to audiences. I wrote about the large mortgage company – United Shore and famous celebrities from the Oakland County area.

The Pioneer

Photographer, Writer, Copyeditor

The Pioneer was an independent student magazine run by some students from The Oakland Post.

While I worked for The Pioneer, I did layout design, my own photography and wrote two stories. These are printed in an actual physical copy and located on Issuu.

Oakland Post

Photographer & Writer

The Oakland Post is the student-run newspaper for Oakland University in Rochester Hills, Michigan.

I worked for the Oakland Post from August 2017 until April 2018. While I was there I started as a sports reporting intern. I then moved to the Life section as a staff reporter and often wrote stories for the campus section as well. We had a very small photo section so I would often take photos for my stories as well as my fellow reporters. My favorite was doing sports photography. Before I transferred universities, I was set up to be a section editor for the next school year. You can see my writing by clicking the button below and my photography to the right.
