Melodic Magazine

In spring 2024, I started interning at Melodic Magazine, a global online music source providing the latest news in the music industry. As a Journalism Intern, I conducted research and wrote and published news articles, covering artist announcements, album releases and tour updates, among others. I also contributed song, EP and album reviews, refining my feature-style writing and music journalism skills.

Before my internship ended, I was offered to stay on the team as a staff writer in March 2024 in a brand-new role. Since May 2024, I have served as the Album Coordinator and journalist for the magazine, overseeing and contributing to daily album announcements and reviews. I also regularly interview artists, write editorial pieces and edit articles for grammar, style and flow. My articles have been reposted by artists I've covered during my time with Melodic Magazine, including Emyrson Flora, Dani Stocksdale and Isabel LaRosa.
