I am currently working as the Washington Bureau Intern for USA TODAY and as the Managing Editor of Scene at The Eagle, AU's student-run newspaper. The Scene section covers art, entertainment, music, movies, television, theater, festivals, food and fashion in D.C. So you could say I have a pretty fun job. In the future, I plan to pursue a career in journalism after I graduate.
