During the Summer of 2015 I did an internship with The Sun Chronicle located in Attleboro, MA. I was a social media/ web intern, focusing on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram. I also wrote some traditional pieces. Please look at the social media links to see the pictures I have taken, and SunChronicle.com for more information.
The photos are all taken by myself for The Sun Chronicle's Instagram account. Please also view the account for the many reposts that have been done. |
