Rhetoric, Design & Technical Communication

As an English major, I have often grappled with the employability of my major. Since being a teacher is not my current goal, I sought out classes I believed would offer me marketable skills in the workforce. With the trajectory of the world, digital rhetoric and technical communication are highly transferable abilities to acquire. During my studies, I have learned valuable things like the importance of usability and accessiblity within the world of digital rhetoric. Studying these topics have not only aided my future career, but have greatly benefitted me currently as I work for NC State Student Media.

Career

Experience

My most significant work experience throughout my education has been my involvement with NC State Student Media. I am currently the editor-in-chief of Agromeck, NC State's official yearbook. We are the oldest and most award-winning student publication on campus. I have been a member of the organization since 2018 and previously served as a staff designer and the design editor before assuming the position of editor-in-chief in 2020.

During my time at Agromeck I have:

Curated content and managed deadlines for the 2021 NC State yearbook.
Designed and edited spreads as well as wrote and copy-edited stories.
Hired and managed a staff of 27 people.
Oversaw training and recruitment of new staff members.
Led weekly virtual staff meetings.
Delegated assignments and managed payroll for staff members.
Attended Student Media Board of Directors meetings as a senior leader.

Other notable experience:

Senior photo editor for Lifetouch Photography

Goals

After graduation, I plan to pursue graduate school to obtain a degree in library and information science. I strive to work in the library and information field with a focus on education and media. My education in English and literature have equipped me with the dexterity to work in these fields. The language, writing and rhetoric concentration of my major has provided useful knowledge in technical communication and a grasp of the English language needed to excel in this field. My minor in literature has supplied a sturdy education of the literary canon I will make use of as a librarian.

Interests

Dachshunds

I have two dachshunds, Deacon and Otis. I run a North Carolina meetup group with my sister for people with wiener dogs. We host monthly meetups in Raleigh and Charlotte for dachshund lovers all around to gather and meet different doxies and people. Check NC Weens out on Instagram and Facebook!
