I am an intern at Seward Redesign, a nonprofit community development corporation (CDC) that serves the Seward, Longfellow, Howe, Hiawatha, and Cooper neighborhoods of the Greater Longfellow Community. In addition to my work with Redesign, I am an intern with the Seward Civic and Commerce Association (SCCA), an organization whose mission includes providing a forum for Seward area businesses to plan, discuss, advocate, and network for mutual benefit. As a student at Augsburg College, I study English with an emphasis in Media Writing. I am a tutor t the school's writing lab, as well as the News Editor for the campus publication, The Echo. In August, I will leave the country to teach English in Hunan, China.
