-: My name is Deja Studdard and I am a technical writer
with the Indiana Department of Transportation.
I would say do as many writing based activities as you can,
but another thing that I did was
I was a communications and writing intern
with the City of Indianapolis at the Clerk's office
where I had the opportunity
to write things like press releases,
to write training manuals and things of that nature.
And I write training manuals now.
If ever I have to write a press release,
I can always go back to that experience
as an internship, as a student here.
So definitely intern.
