This summer I built a portfolio of professionally written articles covering Westchester County’s business activities and lifestyle and performed outreach projects within two departments for content creation. I also served as a liaison between three editorial staff members on research, writing, communications, and Excel data management for Westchester Magazine and business-to-business lifestyle publication, 914INC. Some projects I worked on included organizing content for the 914INC Best of Business feature for the September/October issue and writing eight articles under both publications. I was also able to complete several learning goals I set out for myself at the beginning of the internship which will make me a more well-rounded job candidate for the future. The goals I had set for myself are outlined below:
- Develop inter-personal skills by connecting with community via email, phone, and interviews
- Receive masthead credit for written articles that engages local community and expands personal portfolio of work
- Improve editing and proofreading abilities for different topics/types of articles
