LIGHTHOUSE PUBLICATION MEMBER
COPYWRITER / COPYEDITOR
At Lighthouse Publication, I stepped into the role of a copywriter, contributing especially to Orange Magazine: our campus magazine. While I wasn’t a full-time writer, I was actively involved in creative workshops and editorial discussions, where I learned how ideas evolve into stories. During our campus intramurals, named Bravevolution -- I went beyond the page and lent a hand in managing our social media coverage. From crafting real-time captions to being on the ground during events, I learned how to blend writing with visual storytelling, staying hands-on, quick-thinking, and always connected to our audience.
