Skills
Computer: I have am highly experienced with both Microsoft Office and Google Drive. I am familiar and can easily navigate the web with Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Safari and Firefox for various research purposes for articles. I have also used the sound-editing software Audacity to record ten podcasts - seven as a host for the New England Sports Podcasting Network - since 2009.
Pagination: I learned to use InDesign junior year as sports editor for Nashua High School South's Panther Prints student newspaper.
Communication: As sports editor for the Panther Prints and managing editor for my Journalism class newspaper, I have learned the fundamental communication and teamwork skills necessary to lead and organize a successful sports section. My email contact skills are exceptional, as I have used the medium to contact numerous teachers, coaches and even Saint Anselm professors to help contribute quotes and other relevant information to my articles.
Journalism: According to several of my peers, I have an exceptional knowledge of the AP Style. I have above average interviewing skills both digitally and in person. I am also experienced with several styles of writing, including reviews, news and opinion pieces and new journalism.

Best Actor, Summer Camp Movie
July 2004
I went to a camp at the Nature of Things school in Nashua, N.H., the summer before fourth grade and while attending the program, I participated in a camp-wide movie. Following the completion of filming and the "premiere" for the camp's younger children, the counselors handed out awards to each of the movie's actors. I received "Best Actor," the most distinguished award of anyone. It was an honor and I can proudly say that I have since taken my on-camera presentation and transferred my outgoing personality and quirkiness into my writing.
My writing career began in high school my sophomore as a sports writer for the school's newspaper, the "Panthers Prints." I was promoted to sports editor my junior year where I learned the communication and teamwork schools needed to organize and edit a sports section. In my senior year journalism class, I took my skills to the next level by taking on the task of managing editor - while writing sports on the side - for a group newspaper. I received an "A" in each of the English levels 1, 2, and 3 and I am currently on pace to receive this outstanding mark yet again in my journalism class.
