As a National Public Radio 89.9 intern, I worked closely with WJCT’s news team to pitch story ideas and contact media to secure organic media coverage.

 

I did everything from media clipping and building media lists to pitching story ideas to major journalists. Also, I wrote scripts for First Coast Connect.

 

 I worked with major companies and  interviewed public figures in Jacksonville, such as Mayor Lenny Curry.

​

My favorite part of my experience would have to be the company's culture as well as the hands-on opportunities.

 

The experts at WJCT were genuinely interested in my professional growth and continuously gave me opportunities to brainstorm, pitch my ideas and sit in on calls and meetings.

 

Interning at WJCT helped me develop one of my greatest strengths: writing. I also learned that I can do anything. I dealt with intimidating and dense topics I knew nothing about. However, I watched more news than I ever had, and read about politics and U.S./ World News. By taking this initiative, I proved to myself that no topic was “too hard” to learn or understand.
