Volunteer Experience
Spare Change News - Boston, MA
On--Call Reporter and Copy Editor
A linked-credit opportunity led me to become a volunteer reporter and copy editor for Spare Change News, a non-profit newspaper aimed at the homeless and low-income community in Boston. This subject was completely unfamiliar to me as a journalist; it taught me how to quickly learn and adapt when crafting a story. I covered boisterous rallies and protests, conducted remote interviews, and transcribed video press conferences in order to craft honest and informational news stories. The newspaper is published on a bi-weekly basis, but due to the nature of news (and being on-call) I often worked on tight deadlines. Ahead of going to print, I would receive a selection of stories to be copy-edited and fact checked for accuracy and any errors.

In my senior year I took on the role of Scene Manager, where I was in charge of choosing music, organizing models and looks, coordinating with designers, and ensuring the scene ran smoothly on the night of the show.

I delegated the structure of rehearsals and kept track of attendance, keeping members on task.
