First time blogger here!

Hello everyone! This would be my first blog post ever, so please bear with me. I'm really excited to be the editor-in-chief. I already have some ideas cooking on how we can improve the paper and get everyone else on campus excited to read "The Voice."

I wanted to share with everyone a little bit more about my background. I am a Journalism major, and I plan to continue taking Journalism when I transfer to San Jose State next semester. I've always been interested in Journalism ever since high school. I was the news editor for two years for my high school paper "The Claw" and I was the editor in chief for the school yearbook my senior year. My junior year, I went to a class at Adobe to learn InDesign. I have experience in In Design, but like everyone, I'm still learning (not to mention, I haven't used it in a while and might be a little rusty) From what I can remember, It's easiest to learn In design by just getting on and learning as you go.

My favorite things to write about are definitely politics, hard news, and special interest stories. I'm also love writing about movies and music for fun.

Some more fun facts about me: I was raised in Santa Cruz and now live in Boulder Creek with my Mom, older brother, younger brother, and younger sister. I'm one out of eight kids, most of which live across the country. I'm a member of the Alpha Gamma Society at Cabrillo. I work at a Video store in Boulder Creek. I'm a loyal Giants fan. My favorite movie is Army of Darkness. My favorite TV show is The Office. In my rare spare time I like to ride my bike, read, knit, swim, play with my dog, KC, and surf the internet.

I'm a very busy person but I will give my upmost attention to the "The Voice. Journalism is a passion of mine and I take my responsibilities very seriously.

Two more things: My email acount that this blog is connected to is different than the one that I gave out. I use both e-mail accounts and check them both about twice a day, so you can reach me at either one.

We also need a news editor, who will cover hard news in "The Voice." This person will assign people to cover news stories on campus and in the community and will also work on layout. Anyone interested?

I'll see you all later! --Emily
