“I’m doing an internship (with the Pearce Center for Professional Communication) that does digital marketing, but I also write a lot of newsletters, and we do the UPIC magazine out of our office. … I’ve gotten a lot of experience with article writing and interviewing, which I’ve enjoyed, but I like a little bit more of the technicality of copywriting, too.”
