The Tennessean


During my sophomore year at Belmont, I was approached by a journalism professor who was impressed by my work and recommended I inquire about a freelancing job at Nashville's newspaper, The Tennessean. I got the job and from February-April 2007, worked at The Tennessean as a freelancer in the Religion and Education departments.

I created briefs based on press releases and was also sent on several assignments. My first assignment was to cover a middle school as they created quilt squares to send overseas to less fortunate children through a program called More Than Warmth. Above is a picture taken after returning from my first "real" assignment as a reporter. My story was published in The Tennesean in the Classroom section the next week.
