What is your role at CHI as an intern?

I help proofread and am also learning about marketing through social media and blog writing.

Why did you want to join CHI for an internship?

My parents are subscribers, and I remember seeing CH magazines when I was growing up. I am interested in journalism as a career, and this is a wonderful opportunity to gain insight into what the magazine industry is like. Also, I appreciate historical research and am thoroughly enjoying the content.

What are you studying and where?

I am studying anthropology at Wheaton College.

What are your plans for the future?

My dream career would be to become a foreign correspondent. I love finding and telling stories that involve individuals, communities, and their contexts and shaping those stories to be compelling to a wider audience.

Any hobbies? What do you do in your spare time?

I enjoy watercoloring, swing dancing, volleyball, reading mystery novels, and long walks with friends.
