"I know that Oakhurst Times was founded in 1836 and that it has a long history of writing about the lives of the residents of Oakhurst. This is one of the most exciting things about the paper that motivated me to apply. I'm very interested in continuing that tradition because I think that it's something that makes this paper unique. It's also a great opportunity for my career because I'd like to some day edit biographies."
