As a digital editor for Vox magazine, I copy edited and produced stories for digital publication. I revised stories for structural or focus issues, and I ensured the copy was free of grammar errors and matched AP style. I also wrote headlines, subheads, photo captions, and calendar events for publication. During the digital publication process, I formatted for SEO and incorporated hyperlinks into the article. I embedded social posts, formatted photos and created design presentations tools like pull quotes and info-boxes. My work at Vox Magazine strengthened my editing skills and taught me how to successfully complete the steps of digital production.

As a shift editor for KBIA, I produced, edited and formatted stories for air. I worked with Missourian reporters to publish audio stories for KBIA’s daily newscasts and longer feature pieces. I also reported, scripted, and voiced stories for the daily newscasts. I learned how to write cut copy and wrap versions of scripts, as well as how to write tightly for audio production. In addition to daily newscasts, I published Missourian partnered news stories for KBIA’s website.
