As an Editing, Writing, and Media major, I was given the role of staff writer for the social entrepreneurship group, I learned about different social enterprises and researched their impact in the marketplace as well as their impact on society. I received mentorship under a blog manager and I learned the process of editing blog articles for publication. I also received guidance and recommendations on my work from Dr. Staley, he played a vital role in shaping my writing and thought processes. My work consisted of writing articles, newsletters and reports, all of which gave me material to build a strong portfolio.”

Apprenticeship Work
Miami Dade College (The Reporter)
The article above is a piece I published on the student forums section of The Reporter, the official student newspaper of Miami Dade College. It was an early piece I wrote on career choice, being a student, and how an Orchestra Director told me his story of how he was on the road to being a millionaire with a company he was running but how music ended up being his ultimate passion. His insight and wisdom was paramount in shaping the direction of my studies and future aspirations.
