Jami Jurich got her start in journalism at Ohio State, where she spent a year as the Editor-in-Chief of The Lantern, a full-time paid position at Ohio State's student newspaper. During this time, she was in charge of editing all content produced for the paper, both in print and online. Prior to her time as editor, she worked as both the Managing Editor for Content and a senior reporter at The Lantern, reporting and editing for the campus, arts and sports sections of the newspaper.
After college, Jami changed course and spent three years teaching high school in Los Angeles before moving to New York City, where she worked as an executive assistant and spent her free time writing plays. She has spent the past two years working as the public relations assistant at Carnegie Hall in New York City, where she is responsible for proofreading all outgoing public relations correspondence, writing press releases, digitizing and coding all online press updates, and juggling any administrative tasks that might pop up day-to-day. She especially enjoys working as a project manager on the press website, thinking of creative ways to improve user experience and accessibility for all users.
Jami also spent a summer in Kosovo as a news reporter for the international news agency KosovaLive, where she wrote in-depth pieces for international distribution.
She loves her work so much that when she is not at her full-time job, she is often freelancing for companies by writing press releases and copy or designing social media campaigns. She also works with a dear friend as the copywriter on a lifestyle and alternative health podcast. In her free time, Jami is actively involved in political volunteer work and grassroots organizing in her community. She also loves to read, draw, watch Nora Ephron movies, and take marketing classes.
