Thinking About the Future

As I find myself coming to the end of my college experience, I have been thinking more about the future as a tangible reality. I am a journalism major with a minor in professional writing and I graduate UNM in December. I am currently at my second internship with a magazine, where I gain the best writing experience. I have also noticed that my UNM elective classes (interviewing, editing) are all courses that will prepare me for the "real world" journalism jobs. In my advanced multimedia journalism course, my professor had me put together a virtual resume with all of my work showcasing my various multimedia skills.

Thanks for stopping by my blog,

Hello Writing for the Web Class!

My name is Kelsie Soward and this is my blog that I have used for all my UNM classes since I was a freshman. I am now a senior and I graduate this fall! My  major is print journalism and I currently intern at Albuquerque The Magazine and it has been a great experience so far! My favorite hobby (aside from writing) is photography.

My grandfather was a Master Sergent in the United States Air Force and subsequently he moved my family around a lot. My uncle and aunts were born in Germany and my mother was born in Greece. Throughout his travels he took pictures in every country and documented every moment. When I was 11 years old, he gave me his camera and this my very first camera, and where my passion for photography started. I've been taking pictures and writing down my travels ever since!
