I made a podcast! Let's talk about it!Deciding to create a podcast for my senior honors project wasn't the easiest thing I've ever done, but it's been one of the most exciting and challenging experiences of my college career! I've gained so much confidence in my public speaking skills, along with a lot of technical knowledge about audio production and editing. There have been so many learning opportunities (mistakes!!) that have made me a better interviewer and producer along the way.

To complete my senior honors project at St. Kate's, I was allowed to choose any type of project I was interested in. Students in past years have done everything from research papers to musical performances, but it has always felt like those projects only existed when they were being produced. I wanted to create a project that would be able to continue educating and engaging others even after I graduate and move onto my next big adventure.
