Maine. Edinburgh. Paris. London. Prague. Finally, New York
City.
The past six months or so of Sarah Lyon’s life have been a
series of landings and departures. New people, new climates and new places to
see. Throughout it all she’s embraced adventure, exploring the metro system and
thriving off of the excitement that comes with travel. It’s the same sense of
curiosity that encouraged Lyon to join her high school newspaper and pursue a career
in journalism.
When Lyon graduated and enrolled at Colby College, a small
liberal arts college in Maine, she wasn’t slowed down by the absence of a
journalism program. She quickly took on a major in Sociology and got involved
with the college newspaper, for which she will serve as editor in chief this
coming academic year. In the meantime, Lyon said she’s getting plenty of useful
experience as an editorial intern at Parade
magazine. After just several weeks on the job, she’s already written
several articles for their website.
“I’ve just enjoyed being treated like a full-time staff
member,” Lyon said. “It’s also been nice getting to know the people in my
office since the editorial staff is relatively small, and one woman I work with
is a former ASME intern.”
Lyon is still deciding if she would prefer to write or edit
stories after graduation, but she’s sure she wants to work in publishing. Right
now she said she enjoys the freedom working at a mixed-audience publication
allows. She wouldn’t mind working for a women’s magazine, either. As always,
she’s open to the possibilities.
