The Bark

The Bark is the student news organization for the University of Minnesota Duluth producing daily online mulimedia content and a monthy print edition. The Bark provides local media to over 10,000 students, faculty and staff.

Besides publishing stories at The Bark I also managed critical components. I connected with newcomers helping guide them into their perfectly formulated position, I assisted in the overall management of The Bark’s editorial staff, participated in live social media feeds, managed necessary events and so much more. I’m proud of all the work I participated in at The Bark.
