Movies. Music. Books. I know I do. As a kid, I reenacted a war journalist with a camcorder. I repeated everything Peter Jennings said. Being an on-air journalist was a dream job.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>But I didn\u2019t want to be on tv for the sake of being on tv: I wanted to inform people about their community and what they can do to see change: to empower them. So whenever I got the chance to go out and cover a story, I was there. I wrote about things ranging from protests in Downtown Los Angeles to a new head coach for the Lacrosse team.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} --><\/p>\n<h2><strong>School newspaper to the big leagues<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><!-- \/wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>I went to three different high schools before I came across Daniel Pearl Magnet High School\u2014a Journalism and Communications magnet.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>So, I convinced my mom to sign me up, and the rest is history.

It was a lot of fun.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Fast forward to UCSD, where I wrote for the campus publication and other outlets. I even started my own radio show. But the real fun started when I interned for NBC7 &amp; TLMD 20 in San Diego. After all, it\u2019s the big leagues.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>I wrote for the newscast, the station\u2019s digital platforms, went out in the field with reporters, and learned the ins and outs of the business.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t easy. If you went to a school on a quarter system, you know my pain. I worked three jobs and had an internship.

Plus, the market doesn\u2019t know what it wants.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Even a well-known, respected journalist told me, \u201cI feel bad for younger journalists.

I\u2019m young, and I can do it. But what about when I\u2019m older, have kids, and my expenses rise. Is journalism something I\u2019ll be able to or want to maintain? The answer: no!<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>It sucks, but I knew there was something out there besides PR, marketing, or something similar that I\u2019d find interesting.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} --><\/p>\n<h2><strong>UX Writing is just what I needed<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><!-- \/wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s when I found UX Writing.

He\u2019s the Design Director of the Design Lab at UCSD.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>So I did more research to see if I could take a crack at the tech world.

There\u2019s only 15\u201330 seconds on average to write a script, so there\u2019s no room for fluff. Every. Word. Counts. Just like UI screens.<\/li>\n<li>Interviewing people is part of being a great journalist. Being able to think on the fly and create follow up questions without a script separates the average from the great. So conducting user interviews is so natural to me.<\/li>\n<li>Research. Many people don\u2019t realize it, but before typing, we need to know the whole picture. That means digging deep so we don\u2019t skip a beat by talking to law enforcement to confirm information.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>SEO. I mean, how is anyone going to find us? By following SEO best practices, my articles reached over 58,000+ readers organically, helping the news publications gain more traffic and empowering readers with information.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><!-- \/wp:list --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>I can keep going and talk about progressive disclosure and the pyramid triangle, but I think you see the similarities that make me and any journalist a well-rounded UX Writer.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} --><\/p>\n<h2><strong>UX Writing project<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><!-- \/wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Once I knew I had the skills, I dipped my beak into UX after graduating. A team of three designers, a researcher, and I jumped on a freelance project for a party rental company close to San Francisco.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>It was fun. We conducted stakeholder interviews, looked at our competitors, created personas, epics, and all the beautiful things that go into making a digital product.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>A lot of work went into creating an e-commerce website for a party rental site. Yet, I found it captivating. It fueled my hunger to learn more about this field.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>So Medium became my bible.
