Relevant Experience
Writing Intern
Pittsburgh's Downtown Neighborhood Alliance
To complete my studies at Slippery Rock University I was required to demonstrate my skills and practice in a professional environment. I contributed about four articles a week to Downtown Neighborhood Alliance (DNA). Through this internship, I became comfortable reporting on businesses and events I am unfamiliar with, gained confidence interviewing over the phone and got to break into a more creative writing mode. I started this internship in May 2023 and although I finished the internship in July, I still contribute to the weekly newsletter.
The Butler Eagle
In Advanced Writing and Reporting I spent time researching a Butler County family's legacy at the genealogy center in the Butler County's Public Library. After researching the Schnur family, I went to their greenhouse to interview the current owner, Jim. This story was featured in the Butler Eagle's America 250 series.
Assistant News Editor
The Rocket
I accepted the position of Assistant News Editor for SRU's award-winning publication, The Rocket.
The Rocket has allowed me to build stronger ties with community members and gives me a larger platform to share stories that impact Slippery Rock. I attend SRU student government meetings, Slippery Rock Borough Council meetings and Slippery Rock Area School Board meetings to create content that is relevant to my audience.

Contributing Writer
The Titusville Herald
The Titusville Herald served Crawford County for over 150 years. In 2022, the Titusville Herald closed and deleted their website. Two pieces of my writing were recovered from a classmate's scrapbook.
Community Blog
Rock Talk
Before accepting my position at The Rocket, I wrote stories about the college and community on my personal blog Rock Talk.
​
I have interviewed community members and local government, covered stories in Butler County and created resources for residents of Slippery Rock.
Multimedia Manager
Rock Rugby
I served as a multimedia manager for Rock Rugby from Aug. 2021 to Aug. 2022. While working for their head coach, Matt Heasley, I created instagram content for the team, managed their website and added search engine optimization, took headshots, action photos and recorded games. I contributed game recaps for The Rocket to promote the club among students and recruited players for the team.
"Behind the Brew"
North Country Brewing Company
Take a look Behind the Brew, a photoessay on North Country Brewing Company and how their brewers execute unique malt beverages. I worked for North Country from June 2020 to Feb. 2022 as a line cook and shift lead while attending school at SRU. Click the photo to check out the photo essay I created!
Mini Documentary
Bob's Sub and Sandwich Shop
Bob's Sub has been located in downtown Slippery Rock since 1973. I have had the pleasure of working at Bob's since January 2022. I created this video for Message Preparation. Although it was a group project, I completed the script, set up the interviews, filmed b-roll and edited the video.
