DC Rep, MTV Street Team '08
MTV Networks
(Public Company; 10,001 or more employees; VIA; Entertainment industry)
January 2008 — Present (10 months)
I am a citizen journalist for MTV's Street Team '08. In total there are 51 of us – canvassing each state and Washington, DC (that’s me). MTV and the Knight Foundation hired each of us for an experiment in guerilla, multimedia journalism.

Intern
Chicago Council on Foreign Relations
(Non-Profit Organization Management industry)

This was a great summer internship helping to plan events with politicians, Ambassadors and foreign policy experts.

Production Assistant
NBC Chicago
(Broadcast Media industry)
May 2005 — August 2005 (4 months)
This summer was spent waking up at 4am, getting to the studio on Michigan Ave by 5am, and scrambling to make the weekend morning news cast as seamless as possible. I also got to follow around reporter, Anita Padilla, while she chased stories in the city and burbs.

Communications Intern
General Electric Corporate
(Public Company; Financial Services industry)
May 2004 — August 2004 (4 months)
Here I was part of GE's Communication Leadership Development Program (CLDP). My assignment was to Fleet Services in Minneapolis, where I worked in internal communications. I also worked on a national project with the twenty other CLDP interns, to analyze GE's Press Center and prepare and present recommendations at the end of the program to Communication execs at their Crotonville campus.

Correspondent
Northwest Indiana Times
(Writing and Editing industry)
May 2003 — August 2003 (4 months)
This was my first experience really chasing stories. I covered local news, like the annual 4th of July turtle race and features on local profiles of exceptional character.
