Elyviah Payton, Social Media Manager
What is your dream job
My dream job is to work in magazine editing or public relations in New York. I haven’t decided yet, but maybe both. I like to believe that I can do it all.
Where does the Clipper fit in to your long term goals?
The Clipper plays a huge role in my long-term goals by giving me hands-on experience in journalism and media communications. Working on the newspaper allows me to develop my writing, editing, and storytelling skills, which are essential for both public relations and magazine editing. It also helps me understand how to engage an audience and manage content—skills that will be invaluable as I pursue a career in the fashion and beauty industries. Through The Clipper, I am able to build a portfolio and network with others in the field, which will help me as I work toward my dream of working in public relations or as a magazine editor.
When you aren’t doing things for the Clipper, what can you be found doing?
When I’m not doing things for the Clipper, I am either studying, napping, or just binging my tv show (Grey’s Anatomy.) I also have two cats named Kevin and Frank who take up majority of my time as well.
