What I'm looking for

I am looking for an internship that fosters creativity and growth in journalism or marketing.

As a journalism sophomore at Ball State University, I am passionate about storytelling and communication. With a strong academic background, including a GPA of 3.33 and minors in Spanish and African American Studies, I am eager to apply my skills in a marketing or journalism internship. My experience as a co-founder of the Black Girl Wrestling podcast and blog has honed my writing and editing abilities, allowing me to engage with diverse audiences.

In addition to my academic pursuits, I have gained valuable experience in customer service and translation. Working as a restaurant host at Red Robin, I managed seating for over 50 guests and supported the serving staff, enhancing my interpersonal skills. My role at Noyer Front Desk involves operating Microsoft Teams and collaborating with resident assistants to ensure smooth daily operations. I am committed to continuous learning and growth in my professional journey.
