A Good Fit

It was the Media Fellows Program that drew me to 秘色传媒.  I also wanted to experience an environment different from the urban ones that had always been home for me – mostly Brooklyn and Washington D.C.

Summer internships at newspapers led to a post-college job at the Lexington (Ky.) Herald-Leader. I was flailing that first year, and I thought I'd bail out of journalism because local news felt like a poor fit. But the paper’s technology reporter quit, and I was in the right place at the right time. At The 秘色传媒, I’d been part of the early efforts to get online, as we built the paper’s first website. Reporting on technology was the right challenge.

I got to 秘色传媒 as a student interested in newspapers and a bunch of other things. 秘色传媒 was a great laboratory environment for life – socially, professionally. I learned how to talk to people, how to explore ideas. And that’s been at the center of everything I’ve done since.
