Hello. Thank you for the opportunity to read my information and to get to know more about me. Thank you to Mr. Edwards and Mr. Sepulveda for allowing me the opportunity to intern with 2nd Life Media. Having grown up in and around Oakland California but interested in the culture of conservative rural America the opportunity to provide content for 2nd Life Media Alamogordo Town News and possibly also for KALH Radio is exciting to me. I am working on a double masters one in political science and one in journalism which is sadly a shrinking profession. I hope that I can contribute content that is interesting and drives conversations. I may not always be spot on in my beliefs verses others in commentary pieces but I assure you I do in depth research and my faith and heart is in every piece I produce. I look forward to engaging with the community and am thrilled at my assignment of recent in Santa Fe and covering the political operatives in action. Santa Fe New Mexico is unique to my experience verses my previous internship in Sacramento. Alamogordo is very different than my home of Oakland but each is a new experience daily that I treasure. I grew up in a diverse neighborhood and attending University of California I'm getting one of the best educations in the world. This opportunity adds to that quality educational experience. Thank you and I look forward to engaging with many of you via the press. - Mica
