I've been published in Nick Jr. Magazine!

As I was surfing the web, I decided to google myself. I came across a feature with my name on it from the September issue of Nick Jr. Magazine. My very first byline with a national publication. How dope is that!?!

I interned with Nick Jr. Magazine during the Spring semester of 2008 which was also my last semester as an undergraduate at St. John's University. The internship was really cool as well as insightful. The people there were so helpful and genuinely kind people. I never heard them talk about each other negatively, the way they do at my new job. They were on time with everything and were really creative thinkers. Because of that experience, I now know the kind of work environment I need to work in if I want to get things done.

Getting back to my publication, it isn't full of words---It's a magazine for children! Most who can't read very well as of yet. It's actually two children's activities I came up with for the magazine.

I think I could show you better than I could tell you. Flip through this link and check them out!
Pages, 21 & 27 on the site and pages 20 & 26 in the actual magazine.

One of my activities was named in an article on the September issue.

The main magazine has some friendship themed activities, but a good amount of the activities are just general play themed. A few of the activities are Best Buddies matching game, First Day Friends of Mine song, Give ‘Em a Hand hidden picture, and Kai-Lan’s Dino Games board game.

Since, I'm on the subject of Nick Jr. Magazine, I'd be wrong if I didn't tell you what an excellent magazine this is for young children as well as parents! I'm not just saying that because I did lots of free work for them.

There is a parenting insert featured in each issue where you can find cool recipes, tips on parenting (in partner with parentsconnect.com), and an assortment of ways to have lots of fun with your children. My niece loves for me to sit with her and do the activities inside of the magazine. Its also a great way to get the kids out of your hair for a little while. There's some really cool stuff in these pages! If you're a school teacher, order a bunch for your classroom!

I think that will be all!
