For as long as I can remember I have had a dream to work at a magazine. I have been a avid reader of magazines since I first picked up Highlights when I was three years old to the "grown up" magazines like The Economist and Real Simple that I read now. Yes times have changed, and along with it my interests. I have been a subscriber to Shape, Fitness, Marie Claire, National Geographic and Time all at one time or another. But a magazine I should have been reading is brass|MAGAZINE. What a great publication!
In the first few issues I read of brass|Magazine, I took note of a articles like Systematic Savings and Web Biz Basics, which I know will prove useful to me in the future. I also enjoyed great features on amazing people like Anne-Sophie Dutoit, who wrote a screen play at age 14!
I worked in finance for three years and let me tell you what, that world isn't always the most interesting topic of discussion, but brass|MAGAZINE does such a fabulous job of making all this need-to-know stuff fun to read. So on that note, I am overly-excited that my dream has come true and I get the opportunity to work with the wonderful team here as the new editorial intern!
I am currently a student at Oregon State University studying New Media Communications and Political Science. I'm actively involved on campus as a communications coordinator for OSU's Community Service Center, a news writer for the school paper, and as a volunteer on other marketing efforts around campus. I have a very broad range of interests, and I'm always up to trying new things. Interests of passion are travel, media/news, sustainability, tech, fashion and much more. I love exploring new places and meeting new people. Rarely will I ever be without coffee in hand or my camera and notebook nearby. Being fortunate enough to grow up in the Pacific Northwest has allowed me to take advantage and appreciate the outdoors, too. I live to learn, listen and communicate and that's exactly what I will be doing for the next six months here at brass.
