It doesn’t seem like it was all that long ago, I was at The BG News table at Campus Fest back in fall 2009.

It was time to decide which route I wanted to take with my journalism career: print, broadcast or public relations. I had decided to check out The BG News meeting, and before I knew it I was covering my first story a week later.

This was before I had taken any journalism classes (other than the introductory class), so I didn’t really have any clue what I was doing, but I ended up learning just as much about journalism and writing from working 3 years at The BG News as I did in the classroom.

The past few years I focused mostly on writing album reviews, which was a lot of fun. I covered a new album every week for almost two years, and I have to thank Matt Liasse and Danae King for really giving me the freedom to cover the albums I wanted to write about.

I hope my reviews, whether you agreed with them or not, made you think a little bit about the music you listen to. I also hope that I was able to put you on to some new artists that you might not have heard about before.

I haven’t been writing new reviews the past couple of months because I have been working at other publications, and I wasn’t able to make time to do a weekly review for The BG News.

But I would like to thank everyone I worked with here at The BG News, and anyone who has ever read any of my work.
