Brownfield will have a summer intern. Her name is Taryn Dameron.
Taryn inherited her passion for agriculture growing up on a farm in western Missouri where her family raises crossbred cattle and row crops. She is currently finishing up her sophomore year at the University of Missouri where she is pursuing a degree in Agriculture Journalism.
Taryn has experience writing and taking pictures for school publications and served as a photography intern for Monsanto’s Technology Development group in the summer of 2006. Recently, Taryn found her way into radio as a reporter for NPR’s 91.3 in Columbia.
As student intern for Brownfield, Taryn will assist in promotions and coordination of several major summer events across the Midwest. She will also have the unique opportunity to work side-by-side with experienced agricultural journalists who will offer instruction in writing and interviewing skills for broadcast on the radio network as well as the Brownfield website and online e-newsletter, “Agriculture Today.”
I could use one too but I haven’t had time to seek one.
