Salt Lake Magazine
I applied for an internship with Salt Lake Magazine. This is what I said:
I am a recent college grad (BS Utah State ’09) and, like many of my fellow 20 something’s who are young, talented, and vying for their first job, I would like to work in an industry that I love and that I feel passionate about: publication. In the next paragraph I describe my experience, but I’d like to describe myself first and why I feel like this internship would be a great opportunity for you and also for myself. I’m a fitness nut, a night owl who loves to be out, I’m the kind of girl who finds a bistro and curls up with magazines for three hours. I love a challenge and I’m passionate about my work. I’m someone who wants to stay close to family and help Utah to continue to find its place on the map. I’m incredibly organized (some would say anal retentive--I often find myself compared to Cameron Diaz in Holiday or Sandra Bullock in The Proposal). When I found Salt Lake Magazine, I knew this was where I wanted to start my post-college career in journalism—because the way you describe yourself (glossy regional publication focused on dining, arts and entertainment, local issues, personalities, and living well in Utah) is what I want my life to be about.
Aside from being punctual and extremely capable, I’m able to multitask better than the average individual. I complete assignments on deadline without any struggle. I have traveled all over the world including art history tours in Europe and food tastings on celebrity resorts in Hawaii. I’ve worked on both coasts in the United States: acting as a personal assistant for Cathy Mann Designs (for Cathy herself) in San Francisco, Calif. and creating online content for the Women’s Sports Foundation in New York—while there I had the privilege of interviewing US Olympic Gold Medalists such as Shawn Johnson. Although these experiences have greatly contributed to the way I see and write about the world today, I want to live and work in Utah. I would be thrilled to join a team that promotes Utah, and specifically Salt Lake, as one of the most desirable places in the US to live, work, and play.
The experience I have gained writing news, features, or other stories; creating, editing and producing online content; working in a fast-paced metropolitan environment; generating graphic design and editing video—in addition to my degree, will only aid the team at Salt Lake Magazine. In times of economic concern or perhaps rumor of a dying industry, I find myself excited to be on the brink of ever-evolving new media; society is only waiting to embrace what new tools journalists will use to deliver information to the masses. If I were given the opportunity, I know I could successfully combine my passion, experience and work ethic to contribute to the unique combination of talent that produces Salt Lake Magazine.
Would you hire me?

I'm starting this blog because I always have something to say. I love architecture, photography, books, magazines, web sites, exercise, horses, working under pressure, good salads, and being on the water!
This is a place for me to take the pictures of the things that I love and share the news about the things that I learn.
Today I researched the ipad.
See here:
Apple is amazing.
I miss Palo Alto and NY.
