ABOUT ME
Grace Koennecke
Currently, I'm a junior at Ohio University, majoring in Journalism: News and Information through the Honors Tutorial College. I'm also minoring in English and pursuing a certificate in Podcasting.
On campus, I'm involved in many student publications including ACRN, and Variant Magazine. I'm also a member of Delta Zeta and Order of the Omega. I have had previous experience in editing and writing roles for other publications such as The Post and Backdrop Magazine. Outside of campus, I have had internships with Cleveland Magazine and GIE Media as an Editorial Intern.
As a writer, I like to be able to relate to my audience, as well as amplify voices who may be under appreciated. I tend to find inspiration from what's going on around me in Athens, Ohio, as well as what's going on in the entertainment and music industries. Usually, you can find me writing album reviews, press releases, Q&A's, or artist spotlights.
In the future, I aspire to work for a music publication or record label, as well as continue to work in radio and podcasting. I'm also interested in freelancing and magazine editing.
Please feel free to contact me directly if you would like to learn more about my work experience.
