After the Institute, I immediately jumped into the last semester of my senior year and an internship at Milwaukee Magazine. I had a new confidence and reignited passion for journalism after spending those two intense weeks with all of you talented people, so it made my last semester of journalism pretty fun. Nothing that semester was what I really expected, though, and I was very happy to graduate and be done with everything.
I only had a few days off after graduation before starting my road trip to Phoenix to spend the summer as a Pulliam Fellow for The Arizona Republic. I really enjoyed working for The Republic, but I came to realize that Phoenix is not my city. I declined a full-time position as a copy editor to return back to sweet home Chicago and start the graduate program at the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University. I went on a crazy road trip to get home, and discovered that in three months I traveled to/through 11 states in the U.S.
In the past few months at Medill, I've made even more great contacts and learned a LOT. I even took time out to be part of a musical production of "Cabaret" with a local theatre. This upcoming quarter, I'm very excited to begin focusing on the health and science reporting track, and I'll be the astronomy beat reporter for Medill News Service.
