In Spring 2013, I became a part of the writing team for a popular Chicago online magazine called The Urbaness. Over the past year, I have written many articles on a variety of topics from cheap date ideas, to in-depth interviews with award winning chefs and recording artists. In November, my role with The Urbaness increased as the Editor-in-Chief asked me to become a part of the Editorial team consisting of three other writers. In this role, I work alongside editors, writers, and photographers to plan, write, and publish unique content for our readers. Most recently, I launched The Urbaness "Chef Series" in order to explore Chicago's booming restaurant industry though interviews with female chefs, and others working in the hospitality industry. In working with The Urbaness, I have not only had the opportunity to build my writing, editing, and interviewing skills, but have also had the great privilege to meet, talk with, and learn from many women who have established successful careers of their own. This has served as a great inspiration to me as I graduate and begin my career.
