Melodic Magazine

In the spring of 2024, I started interning at Melodic Magazine, an online global music source providing the latest news in the music industry. As a Journalism Intern, I conducted research and contributed by writing and publishing news articles, covering artist announcements, album releases and tour updates, among others. Additionally, I write music reviews (song, EP and album reviews), allowing me to refine my feature-style writing and music journalism skills.

As of summer 2024, I serve as the Album Coordinator and a journalist for the magazine, writing daily album announcements. I also write and delegate album reviews and announcements to staff writers, interview artists and write editorial pieces.
