Hensley Proves Qualifications to Editors. Im the right choice she says

I am very familiar with the features and content of the website. I can brainstorm and pitch ideas for every vertical from Politics to Celebrity to Culture. I love the atmosphere in a newsroom and the energy of being a reporter. I bring a fun, unique spin to journalism, work well with deadlines and strive to think creatively of whats next in the industry.

Hensley: I have experience in and out of the classroom

I have gained extensive experience learning from my amazing professors, bosses, and co-workers. Creating opportunities for yourself is one of the most paramount ways to learn and I believe I have gained insurmountable knowledge from past and current jobs. I am a former features intern at Seventeen magazine working with the News department, reporting intern at WBOY-TV in Clarksburg, West Virginia. In the Fall of 2011 I began blogging for Campus Trendsetters, a branch of HerCampus.com. Since 2010 I have been polishing my reporting skills as a writer for The Columns newspaper covering lifestyle and campus events and as a staff member of The Mound Yearbook.
