I worked for The Community Paper as an intern from May to August in 2022. During this internship, I attended pitch meetings, wrote a variety of briefs, news and feature stories, and even helped run the paper's social media accounts. I also created a weekly list of recommended events in the community that would be of interest to our readers.

After completing the internship, I continued to work for the paper as a freelance writer. Working at The Community Paper has taught me how to immerse myself into a community and showed me the importance of telling local stories.
