I’m Avery Williamson. I’m a Haines High School Junior who is currently interning at the Chilkat Valley News. I will be writing until the end of this school semester. I decided to intern because I am interested in journalism as a career path.
The Haines High School is helping me pursue this passion through their Work Experience Program. This program allows students to receive a semester credit when 64 hours of work have been recorded. I am working roughly three hours a week to reach this requirement.
My major goals are to become a better writer and editor. I am primarily interested in writing for the sports column. I’ve already learned so much and I am anxious to learn more.
