Bio
Kevin Kirkland
Working at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in 2016, Atiya Irvin-Mitchell set herself apart from the half-dozen other interns by her quiet work ethic, creativity and original ideas. She turned an ordinary assignment on the annual Furries convention in Pittsburgh into a look at how one member had been banned for making an Anthrocon documentary. Later, she generated her own story ideas, including one on fan fiction and the people who make it. But I was most impressed by how she handled food truck reviews, an assignment that required organizational skills, leadership and a knack for cajoling other interns to eat at and review more than 50 trucks. She would be an asset to any organization.
Katie Cruger
Atiya is a gifted writer, meticulous researcher, and self-directed worker. Her senior thesis was among the best I've directed over the last 6 years, and resulted in a scholarly publication. She would be an asset to any organization.
