This semester I joined the paper in order to get some journalism experience that would go along with my future career interests which include public relations, marketing and journalism. In 2013 I graduated from the College of San Mateo with my Certificate in Communication Studies. After CSM I began school at Sonoma State University and this past May I graduated from there with my Bachelor’s degree in Liberal Studies. My plan is to continue with school and earn my Master’s degree in Mass Communications. I have some experience with different types of journalism, but not news writing particularly. I have managed a personal blog about my experience during my college internship. Also on the topic of blogging, I have recently been commissioned by a union organization to manage their blog.

Not related to blogging, while attending Sonoma State I spent two years on the production staff for the School of Liberal Studies Literary Magazine and was a published author and photographer in the magazine’s 2015 edition. I am excited to be on the news staff this semester and am looking forward to writing for the students of Skyline.
