Web and Social Media
Here you will find my work on news in brief and social media.
Social Media
As a social media editor, I assign, edit, and upload all content on all of our social media platforms. Our Instagram is our main platform with over 2000 followers and weekly updated content.
This year, I revamped and updated our Facebook. I am rarely new to Facebook, but we are working to keep the page updated and reach more students, parents, and, alumni.

This is an example of the work that I do as a social media editor. As an editor, I spend most of my time assigning and editing other staffer's work.

This post was the first out-of-school event that I attended to get coverage for. The event is my city's annual music festival which many of the students from my school attend. I was able to recognize students and get interviews on the spot while soaking in the environment to describe it for those unable to attend.

This was a brief on a Bollywood dancing tutorial the Asian Cultural Society hosted. It was interesting to learn about other cultures and different forms of dance.
Feature Writing
This was my first long-form story about a student in my Spanish class. She liked to tell us stories about her time in Cuba and I decided that she was the perfect person to write a feature on. It was challanging navigating the language barrier but once

This was a satirical piece that I co-wrote with my friend about Spirit Week outfits. We were tasked with writing a piece advising on last-minute outfit ideas, and we decided to make it into a satire piece to put a fresh spin on the content that we produce annually.
