In September 2014 as a college freshman, I started as an intern at WTBU, Boston University’s student-run radio station. I learned how to work the equipment and the board, curate playlists and conduct interviews. After that, I proceeded to have my own show — two over the years, and eventually joined the executive board as the station’s Promotions Director for a year.

I also put together the station’s history page. I conducted and edited interviews with notable WTBU alumni from over the decades, who told their stories about the station to create an accurate and colorful collection of WTBU history.
