                • Without WLUSP, I may never have taken steps to start what has become an award-winning magazine or write a book which was nominated for a number of Canada’s most prestigious literary awards.

                • With Journalists for Human Rights in Sierra Leone, I drew upon the mentoring skills I honed in The Cord’s senior management and the technical expertise I gleaned as a DJ with Radio Laurier.

                • WLUSP supplemented my university studies with enough “real-world” journalism, design, and managerial skills to be able to skip entry level positions post-grad.

                • Although I have taken on more experiences in life in different places, my WLUSP experience is still something I am very proud to include in my resume and will always refer back to fondly.
