Sarah Grapes Blog (2016-2019)

In 2016, I created the blog Sarah Grapes, in which I often wrote about fashion and the occasional book review. It was a great way for me to actively pursue an interest in fashion while combining it with my love for writing. I designed the website through a combination of HTML/CSS and the functions available through blogger—Google’s online content management system. I stopped posting in 2019 after three years of regularly uploading content. Contributing to Sarah Grapes required me to manage my time, organize story ideas and developments, and write/edit timely pieces.

The Main Four (2016-2017)

The Main Four is a student-run newspaper at Howell High School. During my junior year of high school, I contributed as a staff writer. My pieces ranged from how-to’s to covering a women’s march in Ann Arbor. All of my stories consisted of conducting interviews and research. Often times, I worked on a strict deadline to get my stories in on time.
