As an English and communication double major, writing for the Pittsburgh Magazine seemed like the perfect opportunity.

I learned about the possibility from my friend Calli Arida (SHU 18), a former Pittsburgh Magazine intern. After a few phone interviews, I was thrilled to be offered a summer editorial internship with Jessica Sinichak, Pittsburgh Magazine’s home editor.

"I received helpful, constructive feedback from the editors that improved my writing skills."

Throughout the summer I wrote articles for the magazine’s home section. Many of my articles appeared on Nest, the home and lifestyle section of Pittsburgh Magazine’s website. I covered a wide variety of topics within the home industry, from a home renovation in Upper St. Clair to an online platform called Paintzen launching in Pittsburgh.

Two of my articles also appeared in Pittsburgh Magazine’s fall 2018 home issue. featured my interview with real estate agent Lauren Klein. highlighted events and trends in the Pittsburgh home industry.  

I take pride in seeing my name in the byline, and I’m grateful that I was given the responsibility to write articles for publication. The Pittsburgh Magazine staff trusts and respects the interns.  I received helpful, constructive feedback from the editors that improved my writing skills. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience to apply my knowledge and learn from professionals.

When I wasn’t in Pittsburgh this summer, I worked at the Westmoreland County Blind Association.  (I had interned there in the spring.) I continued to assist with fundraising and communications, promoting a golf outing and creating a summer newsletter.

I’m continuing to build up my experience during my senior year. I’m an intern with the 亚洲AV marketing department and co-editor-in-chief of 亚洲AV’s student news publication, the Setonian. I'm also a drumline captain with the Griffin Marching Band. With graduation approaching in May, I’m grateful for all of the valuable learning experiences that have helped prepare me for a career as a writer.
