The Odyssey Online

As former Editor-in-Chief of Mizzou's Odyssey Online branch, I ran a team of 20+ creators. Odyssey is an online-only publication comprised of teams of college students from different universities who write articles on various topics. I often edited dozens of articles per week and work one on one with creators to improve their writing skills.

 

Working with my content strategist from Odyssey's New York headquarters, I planned the best ways to improve my team's page views through social media shares and marketing. I created posters and online posts for recruiting new members, helped run our team's Instagram and managed a Google Drive consisting of various documents I've written to help my team with writing, editing, social media sharing tips, etc.

​

On top of this, I held over half (785,000) of my team's overall page views. As of December 2018, my team became one of Odyssey's 10 self-managed teams due to our success at content creation and page view numbers.  Odyssey gave me a great opportunity to work for a real-world publication, taught me extremely vital leadership skills and given me a chance to publish my own work for others to read.
