I'm Allison, a dedicated professional seeking opportunities in journalism and communication. With a focused background in professional writing and journalism, complemented by experiences in general communication, social media, public relations, and broadcast journalism, I bring a versatile skill set to the table. As a former News Editor at The Louisville Cardinal, I thrived in a dynamic and fast paced environment, taking on additional responsibilities in news reporting while exploring diverse facets of journalism. This role provided me with invaluable opportunities to engage with industry experts such as Monica Kaufman-Pearson and institutional leaders, sharpening my writing, editing, and interviewing skills along the way. My role at The Louisville Cardinal solidified my position as a well-rounded writer, editor, interviewer, and communicator. During my internship at the Office of Communications and Marketing at the University of Louisville, I contributed to the evolution of UofL's digital presence, working under the web team to enhance the university's website into a modern, user-centric experience. Through conducting website audits, crafting news updates, and refining my professional writing abilities, I played a pivotal role in helping shape UofL's online identity. My expertise extends beyond traditional journalism and newswriting spheres. Through coursework and hands-on experiences, I've honed my skills in social media marketing, broadcast journalism, and interviewing. From earning certifications in social media marketing to producing compelling video stories reminiscent of local news broadcasts, I've demonstrated a knack for leveraging various mediums to engage audiences effectively. I am eager to contribute my skills and experiences to the important and dynamic field of journalism and communication, as I am committed to the execution of excellence and the art of storytelling.
