Kathryn (“Katy”) Devereaux, a Grace College English major/journalism minor, began work today at the Brethren Missionary Herald Company as the fall editorial intern.
Each semester Dr. Paulette Sauders of the college’s journalism department supplies BMH with a skilled writer/editor to serve in a paid internship. The students work about 20 hours a week and they write, edit, and proofread for BMH’s various publications, including FGBC World periodical, the accompanying websites, and BMH Books.
During her working hours this fall, Katy will be the front-desk receptionist and will be the telephone receptionist for BMH, in addition to her journalism duties.
Katy, who is from Jackson, Michigan, has been working this past year as a copy editor and staff writer for the campus newspaper, The Sounding Board. In addition, she has participated in Lady Lancer soccer, went with Grace Brethren International Missions on a short-term trip to Ireland in 2005, and this past summer participated in a short-term missions trip to the Philippines.
Katy’s interests are in French language skills, creative writing, world traveling, sports, community service projects, and child sponsorship.
This past summer’s intern was Paul Hoard, a Grace journalism student from Ankara, Turkey.
