• Outreach Director

  • Aug 2022 - Dec 2022

  As Outreach Director for the Fall '22 semester, I helped recruit and train over 100 new writers for our organization. I oversaw our engagement team and worked to improve our social coverage. I also worked with an outsourced design and production company to make TDG some new merch! For our senior staff, I helped boost morale and team-building with fun activities that allowed the staff to get to know each other better. We made word clouds that allowed staff members to anonymously compliment each other, and ended the semester with secret santa. I coordinated food for staff celebrations and training as well.

• Opinion Editor

  • May 2021 - Aug 2022

  As Opinion Editor for The Daily Gamecock, I lead a section of about 8-10 writers and created content 5 days a week for our newsletter. I edited writers' content to comply with TDG style and AP style. I also edited for correct grammar, strong argument, and fact checked all articles as well. I managed a two-week budget of content and made sure all writers met their assigned deadline for newsletter publication. And once per week I lead a section meeting for updates on content and mini writing lessons for new writers. With help from other section editors, I coordinated our columns with sports and news articles to make TDG newsletters cohesive and well-rounded. I reduced the amount of lifestyle content and "list-icles" the opinion section produced, and greatly increased our news coverage. Our Fall '21 editorial won first-place column from the South Carolina Press Association. My spring '22 feature on an art vending machine won first-place Arts and Culture story from the South Carolina Press Association. Show less

• Assistant Opinion Editor

  • Jan 2021 - May 2021

  Before I took over the opinion section, I learned the ropes of organizational leadership for a semester as the assistant opinion editor, shadowing and working with the main editor. During this semester I helped lead section meetings, edited a couple columns a week and helped the editor manage the budget.

• Staff Writer

  • Aug 2019 - Dec 2020

  For my first year and a half of college, I was what TDG calls a "fullstaff" writer for the opinion and news sections. I wrote about one article every week or two and learned from my editors to help improve my writing. Although I later climbed the ranks of our senior staff, I continued writing for our newsletters in the opinion and arts and culture sections after my time on fullstaff.
