In my down time, I like to read and play piano. I have been playing piano since I was ten years old. I like to do activities that challenge my mind, because I truly believe that you never stop learning, and I love to learn new things daily. I also like to stay active. I enjoy pilates, yoga, biking, or even just a refreshing walk. I love to write, which makes sense, because I am an English major at Bemidji State University. I have experience in both analytical and creative writing. Also, I like hands-on work, like organizing an event. I had the privilege to help coordinate Bemidji State University&rsquo;s Headwater&rsquo;s Film Festival. Along with my peers, we watched and judged film submissions from all over the world. Then we planned the event that premiered the films to the public. I was on the promotions team which involved ordering promotional content to give away and creating fun promotions via social media to get the public involved. During my freshman year of college at BSU, I was able to host my own radio show through my Audio Production class. I was a deejay for the college campus radio station, FM90 for a semester, and I loved everything about it. I not only got to choose what music was played, but I also got to talk about hot topics, and hopefully entertain the listeners. I also got to make and record my own radio commercials for a final project. I learned a lot at my time with FM90, and I had fun. A job in communications seems very exciting to me and I have a semester of experience at a station that I am proud of. In addition to writing, I also enjoy the grammatical, editing part of my English major. Proofreading, and correcting grammar is an activity I could see as a career for me. As of the Fall 2016 semester of Bemidji State University, I am the copy-editor of the campus&rsquo;s magazine <em>The Northern Student</em>. I take pride in all of my work, and I would love to make a career out of all of my English skills from analytical and creative writing, to communications, journalism and editing. I believe I can take all of my experiences and interests and improve my skills to be a cutting-edge writer.
