From October to December 2022, I interned at Cincinnati Public Radio, Cincinnati's NPR affiliate. Through this experience, I learned how to research topics, craft compelling headlines, and write and edit accessible articles according to AP and NPR’s style guides. By shadowing reporters, marketing managers, social media experts, and website designers, I familiarized myself with the ins and outs of journalism and marketing for a non-profit media organization.
Articles:
“For the first time, Covington scores 100% on Human Rights Campaign's equality index”
“Classes resume at Riverview East Academy after lockdown where no gun is found”
“Cincinnati has new policy for city employees caught using the N-word: You're fired”

At the Nature Center, I worked in a group to create three different signs: a main, relatively general static sign (green sign) that could be placed near different restoration projects, a sign focused on the invasive Amur Honeysuckle (first blue sign), and a sign to highlight the benefits of native plants (second blue sign). The goal of these signs is to educate visitors on the Nature Center's current restoration work, instruct them to stay on the trail, and encourage them to implement restoration efforts in their own yards.
