About Me
My name is Jamie Kim, a current senior at Beverly Hills High School. This 2017- 2018 school year is my third year on the official school student-run publication, Highlights. Throughout my three years on the staff, I have gained extensive experience as a staff writer, a news editor, and a co-editor-in-chief. Prior to this, I explored the field of journalism in depth in my Introduction to Journalism class during my freshman year.
In this last year that I have left on the website publication of Highlights, I hope to become a stronger and more creative writer. The web offers a myriad of multimedia avenues that allow stories to be told in creative, yet still communicative ways. I will challenge myself to perceive the world with a more journalistic mindset. I hope to develop skills beyond writing articles, such as taking photos, editing videos and taking risks with multimedia programs such as those on KnightLab. After high school, I plan on writing and designing for my college's newspaper, The Daily Princetonian.
I am looking for an employer who will become my mentor, one who will guide and prepare me to successfully enter the journalistic world. I am very interested in an internship or a part-time job that will challenge me to build these skills. Additionally, I am looking for fellow journalists with whom I can build friendly and positive relationships.
