Intern Spotlights: Week 1, Wrap-Up

Where are they now?

We are so proud of our past and present staff here at Superstition Review, and we love to celebrate the accomplishments of our past interns. We recently featured a few interns on social media to share what they’re up to now. We have now included these interns in a wrap-up post for easy access! So, without further ado, we present our intern spotlights:

1. Elizabeth Sheets: Blogger, Issue 12 (Fall 2013) and Content Coordinator, Issue 13 (Spring 2014)

Elizabeth SheetsMore details: Elizabeth shares, “My experience working with Superstition Review prepared me well for the work I do today. Of the three paying gigs I have, the one closest to my heart is my work as an editor for Black Fox Literary Magazine. I started there as a copy editor, and now in addition to soliciting and running articles on their blog, I am also a reader of incoming submissions for poetry, nonfiction,  and flash fiction. I have the privilege of writing and sending feedback to authors who submit fiction to Black Fox and request critical feedback should we choose not to accept their work. Interacting with the writing community in that way is the most rewarding part of my work with Black Fox. Shortly after graduation in 2015, I took the position of Managing Editor for Population Research and Policy Review, working with their Editor-in-Chief Dr. Jennifer Glick when she was at ASU. When she, and PRPR, moved on to Penn State, I followed along working remotely for Dr. Glick, and will continue doing so through the end of this year. Most recently, I accepted a position as an editorial assistant for the Journal of Proteome Research. At JPR, I work directly for Associate Editor Dr. Joshua LaBaer. Dr. LaBaer is the director of the Biodesign Institute at ASU, so I am back on campus a few days a week! Juggling these jobs still gives me enough freedom to spend time investing in my own creative work. I’ve published a few pieces, and I am applying for MFA programs this year. Onward!”

2. Regan Henley: Art Editor, Issue 14 to Issue 17 (Fall 2014 to Spring 2016)

November 2: Twitter and Facebook announcements, find Regan on LinkedIn

Regan HenleyMore details: Regan obtained her undergraduate degree at Arizona State University in Intermedia. In 2016 she debuted her first solo show “C@tharsis”, exploring the use of digital technologies in the mourning and grieving process, which included several video installations as well as experimental web-based media. She shares, “I am currently pursuing my graduate degree in Computer Art Syracuse University in New York where I also work as a Teaching Assistant. I am privileged to be in a very small program of only 5 other artists as well as have the opportunity to obtain a degree in a unique and emerging field of study. Is it cold here? Yes. But I’m chasing my dream!”

3. Sarah Anderson: Social Networker, Issue 12 (Fall 2013)

November 3: Twitter and Facebook announcements, find Sarah on LinkedIn

Sarah AndersonMore details: Sarah shares, “After my internship I worked as a reporter for the Fresno Bee, the Arizona Republic, Desert News and 9NEWS in Denver. I even received a medal from Aurora police for my part in writing up a piece on a memorial the department had. There are many things I love about reporting. I love hearing stories and histories from the people I talk to, some of which are powerful tales about community and the human spirit. I love getting the chance to tell people about something cool they did not know about, like everything they can do with a library card or the latest pizza place that just opened and its must-try foods. And I love the excitement of coming in and getting to do something different every day.”

Thank you so much to these interns for their service with us; you are all doing such amazing things, and we’re so proud!
