My first experience with the Daily Iowegian came as a newsroom intern in the summer of 2006. I worked with many of the newsroom staff and felt right at home in the world of deadlines and reporting.
Upon graduating from the University of Iowa in May of 2009 with degrees in English and Business, I left Iowa City to work for Robert Half International, a recruiting firm in Des Moines, after having little luck in finding a position directly related to my field of study.
When an opening at the Daily Iowegian appeared, I was elated with the possibility of returning to my hometown and working at the place that helped encourage my drive to become a writer. I am so thankful for the opportunity the Daily Iowegian has afforded me and hope I can make the community that helped shape who I am proud.
