This winter/spring, I have taken on two editorial interns. Look for their work in our upcoming Washington Gardener Magazine issues, on the GardenDC Podcast, at our YouTube channel, and on this blog. As a first assignment, I asked them to write a short introduction to our readers...
Hello everyone! My name is Hannah Zozobrado, I am one of the spring 2024 Washington Gardener interns. I’m from Silver Spring, MD, and am currently a senior journalism student at the University of Maryland, College Park. In the past few years, I’ve pursued journalism through different publications and organizations on campus, such as The Diamondback as a video reporter, The Campus Trainer as a Music & Arts section editor, and Monumental Magazine as a staff writer. I’m looking forward to working with Washington Gardener and applying my learned journalistic skills to this internship while exploring such new content—all I really know of gardening is whatever my mother has taught me, planting trees and flowers in our backyard. While I don’t usually garden in my free time, I enjoy going outdoors and, like a plant, basking in the sun when the weather is just right. I also love spending time with my family and friends, as well as partaking in artistic pastimes like sewing and scrapbooking; I particularly love to document fond memories with my Polaroid, digital, and film camera. As this is my last semester as a college student, I hope to keep record of all the fun in the coming months, and I can’t wait to see how Washington Gardener blends into the mix!
