• Morning Show Host

  • Jun 2009 - Jun 2010

  I served as morning show host at Radio K for one year, during which time I learned the art of writing, producing and performing a three-hour show every morning. I recruited and trained co-hosts and interns, took requests and planned playlists while researching and producing music-oriented segments. I revamped old featurettes and created new ones; I took requests and gave away tickets; I yawned a lot. I don't think I ever swore on air. I learned to survive on a thermos of ultra-black tar coffee.

• Multimedia Fellow, MPR News

  • Sep 2010 - Dec 2010

  The multimedia fellowship I participated in was a collaboration between MPR News and the School of Journalism and Mass Communications at the University of Minnesota. I pitched, shot, edited and uploaded video stories for the primarily radio-based network. I was one of the first two fellows, so I had a fair amount of room to determine my own track. Over the course of the semester, my videos covered the decommissioning of a Girl Scout camp in Wisconsin, the 2010 midterm elections, and the growth of the Minneapolis bike share program, among other topics.

• Music Library Intern, 89.3 The Current

  • Oct 2009 - Jul 2010

  I was responsible for managing the music database for Minnesota Public Radio's regional indie music service. My work involved attending a weekly music meeting, where each week's new additions were selected. From there, I took the physical copies of the newest singles and uploaded them into Netia, a digital delivery system. After filling out metadata and trimming songs down for airplay, they'd be ready for DJs to spin. I also created the corresponding song entries in MusicMaster, the scheduling software used by radio stations across the country. I'd also help with in-studio performances, schedule giveaways and promotional messages and occasionally contribute on-air talent.
