Money intern Laynie Rose found a love for journalism at an early
age and is now living out her dream. Her interest in journalism sprouted as a
14-year-old high school newspaper reporter for the Centurion in
her hometown of Atlanta, Georgia. It was there that she fell for magazine
journalism. "My junior year we retired [the newspaper] and created a
newsmagazine ... the Raider Script," Laynie said. This go-getter
moved on to become the Editor-in-Chief of Raider Script and took the
skills she learned to the University of Georgia to study journalism. She
has taken over as the editor-in-chief of the campus magazine, Ugazine,
and when that isn't monopolizing her time she works for the Georgia Scholastic
Press Association.
Laynie says her favorite part about being in New York for the
summer is "being surrounded by all of the other ASME interns who are as
weirdly obsessed with magazine journalism as I am." So far the big city
hasn't scared her off, she plans to come back and work at a magazine
post-college. "In a perfect world I'd be covering general interest news
and doing some feature writing. But I'm also loving the smaller niche Money
caters to," she said.
