  From August 2008 to January 2014, I worked a hybrid position on the universal desk. I did a lot of online editing (including photos, graphics, writing breaking news stories, etc.) and print editing (nation, world, sports, local news). Among my various Web duties, I sent out news flashes, tweets, Facebook posts, created slideshows and updated the homepage. I also wrote book reviews for the Book Nook blog. In addition, I tutored high school journalism students as a member of the R-Jeneration program. In March 2014, I re-joined the news desk as a copy editor in a part-time position. In July 2015, I re-joined the online team as a digital editor. Show less
