Background

When I was a freshman at the University of Iowa, I joined Ed on Campus, a club for those interested in the journalism industry (more specifically magazines) that happened to be filled with mostly female students. At my first meeting, the Communications Coordinator for HerCampus--a student at Iowa--was looking for interesting writers.

After a semester writing for Nicole and standing out as a dedicated member of the staff, Nicole trained me and, eventually, handed over the reigns to me.

Essential Duties

Managed a staff of ten writers
Organized, scheduled, and ran meetings
Doled out and approved assignments for the writers in my staff
Wrote the columns "From a Guy's Perspective" and "Letter from the Editor"
Edited articles and images for publications, uploading them online after completion
Approved and started promotions for the magazine
Recruited new writers from the University of Iowa
Found and trained my own replacement, replenishing the staff

my favorite part

I loved the unique challenge of writing for a female audience. I was lucky to have so many women to work with to help me choose the best subjects.
