Grace Wahlman is a student in the BA in Technical Communication program, and she graduates June 2020.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

What projects have you worked on that you would like to highlight?<\/b><\/p>\n

Currently I write and edit freelance, which is something I\u2019d be interested in doing as a career. Last summer I got to intern at Family Promise of Spokane, where I interviewed families experiencing homelessness and wrote their stories. I have also worked in numerous projects throughout my college career, such as building a webpage for Eastern\u2019s Prairie Restoration Project, which was an awesome experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

How have your EWU experiences shaped you?<\/b><\/p>\n

My experiences have made me a more passionate writer and communicator, not only in advocating for myself but in becoming a voice for others as well. Working in the nonprofit world in my internships has opened my eyes to how I can use my education, skills and gifts to help others.<\/span><\/p>\n

What important lessons or tips do you have for future students?<\/b><\/p>\n

Be passionate and curious. Be a lifelong learner. Have a genuine thirst for knowledge. Be willing to learn and have an open mind. Take advantage of the opportunities you are given as a TCOM student \u2013 they are abundant and so beneficial!<\/span><\/p>\n

Is there anything else you would like to share with readers?<\/b><\/p>\n

Be open, be kind and be honest. These will serve you well in any career or experience.<\/span><\/p>\n
