Location: Fort Lewis, WA
Everyday is a new day, I come and go as I please because I cover so many training events and community events with our community partners. I attend multiple meetings and briefs, also I am the social media manager and media relations personnel, we write multiple news articles for the local paper and stories. The hardest part of the job is finding new ideas to write about and capture with your camera. You have to think outside the box and be creative.
